Advent calendars?

I am looking into making an advent calendar and was looking for some inspirations.  I want it to be something that is reusable year after year.  Any ideas?

Re: Advent calendars?

  • We had one very similar to this one growing up:

    Advent Calendar

    It was basically just a felt tree with "ornaments" that had velcro on the back and each day we would add one more ornament to the calendar. I actually want to make something similar for my house now.

  • I think it was on this board last year that I saw a bunch of posts with mini muffin tins made into Advent calendars. You make flat magnets to cover each hole and put the treat in the cup.
  • Thank you for the ideas ladies!

    I just wasn't finding any I liked googling it. 

     

    much appreciated
