Instead of purchasing the perfect Advent Calendar<\/a>, try DIY-ing it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s no better way to count down the days until Christmas<\/a> than with an Advent calendar! You can’t beat receiving a little treat every day as you celebrate this cheerful season. As you’ve probably seen, there are tons of Advent calendars<\/a> on the market, but if you haven’t found the perfect one or the options you’ve seen are too expensive, take a few notes from this week’s Happy Friday reader, Diana, and try creating your own!<\/p>\n

Diana created her very own Advent calendar using only three items, all from Hobby Lobby<\/a> while taking advantage of their current 40% off holiday items<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I love to create and craft. Hobby Lobby is already in full swing with 40% off Christmas<\/a>. I went to browse and found a fun and easy craft that my kids are super excited about for the upcoming season. We love advent calendars at our house. I found this unfinished paper mache Advent calendar<\/a> and some super cute Christmas paper packs<\/a>, along with some rub-on numbers<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“The best part is that you can personalize it with your own trinkets and treats and reuse it again and again. It was so simple and fun to make that I purchased a second one to give as a gift. Thanks, Hip2save, for always helping feed my creativity with the best deals and posts!”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What a perfect, family-fun-filled activity to get us excited for the upcoming holiday season! This would be so fun to gift to others and fill the Advent calendar with some goodies a loved one would enjoy.<\/p>\n
