This is what Christmas looks like today! With the help of these instructions, it is easy to create this great Advent calendar! You will need only another branch to rise.
The Advent Calendar consists of 24 Craft cardboard sheet-boxes, which are hung decorated to small Santa Clauses on a branch.
Here's how it's done

For face and nose of the small Santa Clauses is wiped over a bow Craft cardboard sheet in Skin Tonewith a red Ink Pads .

Nowcut a rectangle 30 x 10 cm for each box of green and red Craft cardboard sheet . Print out the design template. This will show you exactly where the Craft cardboard sheet-rectangle will be folded. So make a Stencil from the template and fold all the Craft cardboard sheet-rectangles.

Fold the box in half (central fold seam) and punch a hole (4 pieces) in each Paper-corner. Now fold the cross seams and place them inside each other so that the holes are exactly on top of each other. Through these the string will be pulled later for hanging up.

Punch out the beard from white Craft cardboard sheet (serrated circle, 5 cm, serrated oval 3.8 cm and a heart with 2.5 cm. Take the punched out heart and use the motif punch to punch two small ovals that form the moustache.

A smooth oval (3.8 cm) is punched out of the skin-coloured Craft cardboard sheet . The nose is in each case a circle with approx. Ø 1 cm, which must be cut out. In addition, a circle with ca. Ø 2 cm is needed for the pompom on the "cap". Wipe on the edges of the motive parts with a Ink Pads some colour or trace the contours of the edges with a fine black Fineliners . Glue all the paper parts together with Handicraft glue to form a Santa Claus face and then fix it to the box

Glue the pompom on the box as well. With Fineliners paint on the eyes and add small white curls to the nose. The buttons are made from a small button and a half pearl.


Now only still the Advent numbers stick it on, fill the box and tie it to the branch.

As soon as all 24 boxes are hanging on the branch and this is also provided with a hanging tape, you stick fir cones , small stars or other accessories on the Advent Calendar. Your optical highlight is ready!
