Making advent calendars is like giving a gift twice.
Once when you make it and another time when you get the treat for the day. Here are some ideas from Etsy for you to make your own version with Cricut or Glowforge.
Ideas from the Etsy House
This beautifully decorated house from Etsy is full of handmade crafts and is just in time for holiday craft making.
It’s called the Etsy House and it’s full of ideas. It’s three floors of well-chosen pieces to accent each room of the house.
It’s no surprise that this comes from Etsy. They built their business all around DIY crafts from artisans. If you’ve never heard of them, then I suggest you head over to their site and take a look at the gorgeous items that people just like you are making there.
But for now, I want to take you on a tour to give you an idea of what to make this holiday season. Watch the video above to see it.
