this the advent calendar I made for my daughter this year. it was a bit more time consuming than the previous year as I decided to make a 3D Christmas tree out of toilet paper rolls. To pull that one off you need to plan your thing month in advance to have the 24 rolls before the first day of December, you can also use kitchen tissue paper roll that you cut to match the length of the toilet paper roll.
I wrapped the back end of the roll with newspaper bits, then painted each roll in green individually before gluing them together in the shape of the tree. I then cut 24 circles out of recycled green paper (you can use craft paper as well) on which I wrote a number in 3D gold liner paint, then stuffed each roll with a little present before pasting the green circle on each end sealing the goodies inside, and then used 3D green glitter paint to define each circle. I added a star cut out from white craft paper and wrapped in gold leftover gift wrap paper that I then pasted on top of the tree. Time consuming but a really stunning result for this one.
