Junky Advent Calendar Reason for the Season

Time to redeem the true meaning of the season, in a fun and yes, junky way.

Reason for the season Advent Calendar

I've done this for several years now and it is always so much fun.   I was
Inspired by  Jodi's Jesus Tree project.

Here's how it works, first take a piece of wood and insert 24 nails.

Each Day,  draw an ornament from the basket, talk about it, hang it on the nail or hook.  Below are some examples

Each ornament will have a special meaning that relates back to the Reason for the Season, or names of Jesus etc.

The ornaments illustrate the meaning of the name with vintage items (or even not so vintage)

Have your little ones follow along as well.

You can see examples of each of the 24 tags as well as different ways to make an advent display on my pinterest page here

If you want pre-printed tags  go  here .

  And they are much better than the ones I made.

Soda Crate Advent Calendar

Easy Christmas project. Use an old soda crate as an advent countdown calendar. Fill each cubby with a fun Holiday surprise. There are exactly 24 cubbies. Inspired by Pinterest, and one of my customers who purchased one of my soda crates for this very project. I just used tissue paper for my mock up. Add ribbon and bows to dress it up more for the season. Check it out on pinterest for more variations.
