The self-made advent calendar

Advent calendars belong to the Christmas season. Here in Germany they have a long tradition. Year after year they are made and filled with love, effort and great ideas. Especially a self-made Advent calendar is a great joy - for young and old. So there are countless ideas for handicrafts, all of which have their own special charm. Different handicraft materials, decorative objects and of course gifts make your Advent calendar something very special. You will also find the matching numbers for labelling your doors. We have the perfect craft material for your DIY Advent calendar!

What do I need for my DIY - Advent calendar?

The crafting of an Advent calendar is possible with varying degrees of effort, depending on the idea. In our assortment you will find as well as 24 boxes, 24 bags and houses for creative design, including the matching 24 numbers, as well as ready-made Advent calendars, which you only have to hang up and fill in the right place. How much time you need to do the crafting is up to you. The possible materials range from natural materials such as wood to textiles such as velvet or jute and even papier-mâché. Different colour designs give your calendar that certain something and make it a truly unique item.

Ideas for your self-made Advent calendar

In our Ideas & Instructions section you will find a variety of instructions for making your Advent calendar. Whether as a large Christmas house with napkin technique, as a memo board, with glued gift boxes or self-sewn boot bags - the creative possibilities are huge. In addition there are countless other craft ideas for the Advent calendar. Ask friends and relatives for creative ideas or browse through our categories. For spontaneous hobbyists VBS also offers creative Advent calender craft kits, which already contain all the material you need to make the calendar.

Decorate your DIY - Advent calendar

Decorating a homemade Advent calendar is a creative task, which in most cases heralds the Christmas spirit. Whether fir trees, fragrant gingerbread, festive angels, Father Christmases, self-designed Christmas tree balls, fresh nuts or candy canes: any idea is allowed. Decorate your Advent calendar e.g. on a festively decorated table or on a Christmas windowsill. Hang the creative Advent calendar in the window, on the banister or drape it on winter branches and twigs. With a little mica and glitter as well as Christmassy colours such as green, red, silver or gold, you can also create a festive atmosphere.

Ideas for a DIY - Advent calendar for children

Making Advent calendars for children is especially fun. Children love bright colours, glitter and especially many accessories. Stars, angels, Father Christmases, boots and other typical Christmas symbols are just right on an Advent calendar for children. During the Advent season these symbols accompany the children through everyday life and not only in school and kindergarten there are many beautiful Christmas stories and carols. With a lovingly designed Advent calendar you will bring new joy to the little ones every day. It is also a nice idea to make it together with the children. You can then take your time filling it with the little surprises.

Ideas for the DIY - Advent calendar for men or women

It is not always easy to think of 24 small gifts for your partner. Many choose chocolate, gingerbread, oranges, speculoos and other typical treats for the Advent season. It is also a good idea to orientate yourself towards your partner's hobby. Does the man in the house like to help himself? Then perhaps a new measuring tape, a good carpenter's pencil or a new headlamp would be a good idea. You can even try to make the entire calendar in the style of his hobby. Are you newly in love and celebrating your first party together? Then your partner will certainly be pleased to receive a confession of love, for example in the form of a gingerbread heart with his name on it. Small gifts like a new eraser, gloves or your favourite magazine are also always a great idea. Basically there are no limits to your creativity, you can fill the Advent calendar with gifts from just one theme, or from many different themes. One thing is for sure, the recipient will be very pleased with the DIY Advent calendar!
