Make Your Own Advent Calendar This Christmas
We explore the joys and history of the all-important Advent calendar – and encourage you to craft your own!
We love it when our wonderful readers send in photos of their crafty makes, so it was very difficult to wittle it down to just 12 of our faves. If you’ve ever posted a pic on our social media or emailed us, you could be starring in this blog – so make sure you take a look to see if you’ve been featured! Remember to share this blog so fellow papercrafters can check if they’ve made the (paper) cut!
