I choose activities for the advent calendar based on traditions that we love to do during the holidays. Then, I sprinkle in a few new activities each year. For example, this year we have a surprise mini vacation at a nearby beach. You can make a simple, recycled holiday activity advent calendar using that stack of leftover envelopes you have acquired over the years. Read on to learn how to put one together tonight in a few easy steps.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
- leftover envelopes
- reusable adhesive tabs or tape
- leftover paper scraps
- number stickers (optional)
Step 2: Stick It to the Wall
I used reusable adhesive tabs to attach each of the envelopes to the wall in our dining room. I transferred them from the floor to the wall in the exact same layout, resulting in a fun colorful tree!
Step 3: Number the Envelopes
I had a lot of leftover scrap-booking number stickers that were never used, I decided these would be perfect for labeling each of my envelopes – randomly 1-25.
