Surprise your family with this DIY wooden Advent calendar! It’s a fun and easy holiday activity!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Here’s an easy homemade Advent calendar<\/a> idea with hanging goody bags!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Try making this simple and inexpensive DIY Wooden Advent calendar by hanging little treat sacks with small clothespins! Each day during December, your family can look forward to opening a different gift bag. Fill the sacks with small toys, party favors, stickers, treats, written messages, or even acts of kindness.<\/p>\n

Advent calendars are such a fun tradition, and this DIY project<\/a> turned out so cute!<\/p>\n

\"Advent<\/p>\n

This DIY requires such simple craft supplies!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You’ll need a few inexpensive craft supplies for this project. My small clothespins<\/a> and paper treat bags<\/a> are from Michaels and come in a variety of patterns and colors.<\/p>\n

I found the numbered Recollections brand gift tags in-store at Michaels. If you can’t find them, blank gift tags<\/a> will work too. Simply write each number out instead. I was able to purchase what I needed for around $15!<\/p>\n

\n

Consider these mini bags on Amazon<\/a> that already come with numbers!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"beadboard<\/p>\n

Here’s how I made my DIY wooden Advent Calendar in a frugal way…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I used a piece of scrap wood (a piece of beadboard that I already had in the garage). I painted it with a fresh coat of white paint for this project, then I glued the clothespins to the board. If you like this beadboard<\/a> look, pick up a piece and have it cut to size at the hardware store, or even use a different wood – it’s up to you!<\/p>\n

\"hanging<\/p>\n

The top and bottom pieces of trim are thin pieces of poplar hobby board from the hardware store that I stained and glued to my board using Liquid Nails<\/a>. I think it gives a more finished look, but this step is definitely optional.<\/p>\n

Then, I just hung each bag and numbered the tag to the board. The best part is that I can re-use this DIY wooden Advent calendar next year! I plan on leaning this against the wall in my kitchen next to my Christmas Tree or on my mantel, but you can add a picture hanger to the back and hang it up, too.<\/p>\n
