Having 4 kids, it's been tedious hanging and filling up FOUR Advent Calendars during the month of December. I figured it would be a LOT easier for the "elves" to pop in something for everyone in ONE box for each day. Hence, the Advent Boxes were born
This is basically UPCYCLING old boxes of bond paper:
1. cover the boxes with Manila Paper, including their covers
2. I taped up some plastic at the ends of the boxes so that I could slip in the different NUMBERS (decorated layouts, of course!) I figured I can change these every year.
3. I wrapped the covers with some Christmas-themed wrapping paper to give the boxes some holiday cheer
4. Arrange the boxes by numbers
5. I doubled up the boxes by putting 2 different days on them. I didn't want my living room to be overrun by too many boxes, lol!
Most layouts I used elements by Jacque Larsen, Kate Hadfield and DeDe Smith
Box Number 25, a slightly bigger box, has The Nativity on it, by Jacque Larsen
