Christmas Countdown - this decorative Advent calendar in a wooden frame is easy to make and will delight the recipient. With the row of houses made of paper and some light, the Advent calendar is also a great decoration for the pre-Christmas period.

First paint the wooden frame. In our example, we painted the frame with grey craft paint and the back wall in Stardust midnight blue. Allow to dry.

Shorten the row of houses so that they fit into the frame. Fold the paper like an accordion. Glue the transparent paper to the back. Stick the finished row of houses into the frame with craft glue and drape a string of lights behind it.

Paint snowflakes with Stardust ice blue. When dry, glue some snowflakes directly to and into the frame with craft glue, hang others on a perlon string. To do this, knot a piece of perlon thread to a snowflake, twist a hook into the top of the frame and hang the snowflake there.
Cut a rectangle of cardboard for the banner. Stamp the lettering and paint it on with silver paint in handlettering style. Roll up the sides of the paper using a pen or similar. Glue the finished banner to the frame in a slightly curved shape.

Screw 12 hooks into the bottom of the frame and hang the Advent calendar packets on them with embroidery twist.

Stamp the Advent calendar numbers on cardboard, cut them to size and stick them onto the individual packs.

Finally, thread embroidery twist through the hanging hooks on the back of the frame and hang the Advent calendar in the desired place.
