Easy DIY Advent calenders
Have you been hunting for some easy DIY advent calendars?
Do you sometimes look at pinterest and want to weep.
The crafts look so fabulous and well ….difficult so much of the time don’t they?
I am an enthusiastic but unskilled crafter. However, I love to DIY, particularly at Christmas. I have found 3 lovely ideas for advent calendars that require little skill or equipment.
I think these are so much nicer than store bought chocolate ones and they look so pretty. Am thinking we could all make these….
