Instructions in 4 steps The paper block-bottom bags are decorated and designed with Christmas in mind, as are the small cardboard gift boxes. The end result – a stylish and contemporary Advent calendar.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Paper, printer, scissors or craft cutter, paintbrush

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Start with the tags by stamping them to your liking with individual motifs of the Clear Stamps - reindeer friends.

Step 2

Then paint the wooden stars of your choice with the green all-purpose paint and the brilliant gold metallic paint. Let the stars dry well out.

Step 3

Print the text "Merry Christmas" on a sheet of paper in landscape orientation. Cut the text into a straight strip of paper and attach the paper strip to the box or bag by means of the double-sided adhesive tape.

Step 4

Fill the packagings and the gift block-bottom bag. Then, decorate your gifts with the ready-made tags, yarn, wooden stars and the Advent numbers. In our example, both Advent numbers were combined. The four Sundays of Advent are displayed here on each of the boxes. The Advent numbers stuck on clothes bags may also be useful.
