How to Make a Reusable Wooden Advent Calendar

Wooden Advent Calendar

Reusable wooded Advent calendar is an easy pleasing project that is simple to do, yet can be customized over the years. Begin with your format: a flat board that is hung to the wall of 24 hooks, or a box/house format with 24 little drawers or cubbies. Prepare a wooden base either by cutting or purchasing pre-assembled wooden base, sanding all side utilities and cleaning up the dust. Draw a sketch of your plan: with a pencil, trace 24 shapes (rectangles or circles), putting them equally so as not to overlap each other. In any style of drawers, purchase or make small wooden boxes; hang in cabinets or clothespins, 24 mini hooks or glued to 24 small clothespins. Paint/stain the wood with non-toxic finishes; it should be fully dry, and the numbers are to be hand-painted or stenciled and simple pictures such as stars, trees, or snowflakes are to be added. You can apply seal with clear varnish in order to get extra durability. Infuse a heavy hanger or sawtooth hooks in the back so that it can hang on the wall. Lastly, place snacks, notes, or little activities in small envelopes/cloth bags and fill them up in drawers. It should be properly wrapped up in cloth and stored after the season as it is a lasting family tradition.
