My family's new tradition beginning this year is to have a "DIY" component to our Christmas gift giving! It has been a lot of fun creating customized gifts for my three brothers and Mom and Dad! Here's the complete DIY gift for my brother Josh's and his wife's Christmas present; their Advent Calendar (Dorey LOVES the old fashion feeling of Christmas)!
- Each drawer houses a little "wish/activity" (ie: Day 1: Build a Snowman)
- I bought an antique red basket to hold each day's "wish" gifts (ie: Day 1: Vintage tin Snowman sign)
- The gifts are wrapped with the Basic Grey papers and velvet, ric-rac or holiday ribbons
- Josh and Dorey received their gift after Thanksgiving feast! (they live in PA)
- I protected the Advent calendar with three to four layers of decoupage - it also helped harden the vintage created floral's form in placed
