In Switzerland it is traditional to have an advent calendar for your kids to countdown the days until Christmas, and my mom used to make one every year wrapping 24 little presents for each days leading to the big day. And I wanted to carry on the tradition for my daughter for her second Christmas and this is what I came up with.
The calendar is fairly simple, and while you can’t really see it all the gifts are tied to a cardboard piece I cut in the shape of a Christmas tree and painted silver and pasted the thing in the door frame of my kitchen. I used a star shape to draw little tags out of yellow craft paper, used 3D liner to line them and wrote the number of the day into each one before pasting them to the present. I used a moon shape to make the 24th tag and placed it on top of the tree.
