Advent calendar made from matchboxes

Instructions No. 2889
Instructions No. 2889     Difficulty: Beginner  Working time: 4 Hours

Christmas is just around the corner and what could be better than a homemade advent calendar? In this tutorial, we show you how to make a unique advent calendar from simple matchboxes. Open a little present every day - a wonderful tradition that spreads anticipation and joy.

Glue six large matchboxes side by side on edge onto the corrugated cardboard. Do not glue the boxes together, otherwise they cannot be opened later. Glue six more boxes on top of them to make a rectangle. You can now cut off the rest of the corrugated cardboard.

Place the template on the matchboxes and trace it with a white Posca marker. If you wish, you can now decorate the surface with stamps.

Glue the small matchboxes to the top edge. This way, all the matchboxes can be pushed open. Decorate these boxes with stamps too.

Write numbers on each matchbox with the Posca marker.

Finally, stick on a few star stickers as desired.
