DIY Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

Supplies

• 24 3-inch paper mache boxes
• Christmas paper or festive holiday paper
• tacky glue
• number stickers or cut outs for 1-24 or wooden advent numbers
• paper cutter 
• paper mache star or paper mache star box or wood star
• scissors

Directions

1. For your diy advent calendar, measure the top of the boxes (pictured 2 ⅞ inches square) and cut paper to fit.
2. Using tacky glue, apply papers to the top of the boxes. Allow to dry.
3. Attach the numbers to the boxes.
4. When boxes are dry, place a surprise in each box. Some items to include might be candies, small toys, written activities, or service ideas.
5. To create the star, place one side of the star against sturdy paper and trace the angles. Cut the shape from the paper and use it as a template to cut additional pieces. You will need to cut half of the shapes using the template facing up and then cut the other half with the template upside down.
6. Using tacky glue, attach the paper to the star, matching the shape. Allow to dry completely.
7. Arrange the boxes as desired on a table, mantel, or under the Christmas tree. Alternatively, you can glue the boxes to a sheet of foam board (wrapped in festive paper) and hang the board with ribbon.
8. Beginning on December 1st, open one box each day. You can open the numbered box which corresponds with the date or countdown to Christmas by beginning with box number 24 (24 days until Christmas) and working towards 1.
