Supplies Needed to Make Advent Calendar Printable Craft

Directions to Make An Advent Calendar Wreath

1. Layout wreath form on a flat surface and line up clothespins around the form.  Find a pleasing amount.  Not too close and not too far away from each other.
2. Taking approximately a 6″ piece of Christmas Washi Tape; center on top of the clothespin.
3. Press the Washi Tape down firmly on clothespin and tuck under both ends.  Press down the tape all over.
4. Paint the wreath form.  Let dry.  Once it is dry, lay out the clothespins in a pattern you like.  Line up the edge of the clothespins with the edge of the inner circle.
5. Hot glue or tacky glue the clothespins in place.  Continue all the way around the wreath adding glued clothespins.
6. You can mix and match the direction of the clothespins if desired. Or keep them all one direction.

How Many Days Until Christmas Wreath

This wreath is so simple to make, but it is super cute and an exciting way to keep the festive mood going this entire Christmas season!

Plus, this is a great way to keep your kids from asking, “How many days till Christmas.”

What Your Wreath Will Look Like Before Adding Printables

Because they’ll be able to count down with various Christmas activities to do as a family.

Add Advent Calendar Printables to Your Wreath Craft

1. Print the Advent Printables Decorations

I recommend printing the  Christmas Countdown PDF on card stock.  Print the paper flowers on regular printer paper.

2. Decorating Your Advent Calendar Wreath with Printables

1. Cut out the Christmas Countdown banners – there are two colors to choose.  I decided to layer them and use both.
2.  Find where you want to attach and add a dot of glue to each end.  
3. Layer a cardboard snowflake if you want on top of banner ends.
4. Cut out the paper flowers.  You do not need to be exact.  It will look like a shabby paper flower and will look adorable either way!
5. Starting in the center of the flower, roll the paper around until it is the size flower you want.
6.  Add a dot of glue to the end of the paper flower to hold together. Decide how many flowers you want to add to the wreath.
7.  Mixing small and large blooms together.
8.  Add glue to the back of the flowers and attach to wreath.

 Ta-Da! Look what a festive Christmas Advent Calendar you made! It’s decorated and beautiful!
