Advent calendars are so fun to have for the holidays no matter what age you are because it gets you prepare to countdown the days to Christmas.

There are many advent calendars at the store, but I think it’s more creative and meaningful when you’re able to construct your own and add small, personalized gifts into the specific days. This is a fun way to be gift sweet gifts or small gifts for your family and friends.
Supplies:

- green paint and brown paint (or any color)
- red poster paper
- hot glue gun
- pencil
- white glue
- scissors
- glue stick
- little presents for the advent calendar
- ribbon
- paper cutter
- Christmas stickers or print out
Directions:
First, cut your paper rolls into even sizes, but if you use toilet paper rolls then the size is perfect as is. Paint the paper rolls with green paint and a few with brown paint for the bottom row as the tree stump. Line up and glue the paper rolls together as the outline of a Christmas tree. Outline the paper rolls onto the red poster paper. Continue to watch DIY by Slick Slime Sam tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.
