Hey friends!
Hope everyone is having an awesome Thanksgiving break! I am here today to share a quick and cute advent calendar I made! This also makes a super cute Christmas Card display!
Here is how it turned out…
This is so simple to make! I made mine during yesterday’s nap time!
Wood Advent Calendar with FREE Printables
I started with 2 – 1×3″ furring strips from Lowe’s or HD. These run under $2 a piece. Here are my dimensions…
For those of you that don’t have a saw… This is one you need to have. You can EASILY cut this project and so many others on our site using this. Cheap and easy… Promise!
That’s a stocking stuffer gals! Come on… You will thank me! This is a perfect ‘craft’ saw, and you would be shocked at how many projects you can do with it!
To paint my advent calendar, I used the method below! Just click on the photo to take you to the post where I give a full tutorial on it.
Once it was dry I finished up!
I decided to hang little bags on each of my clips! I will be filling each bag with small goodies for all the kids… Fun small candy, stickers, and treats.
For the numbers, I decided to print them on my computer! I made them printables for you!!
I found my punch on Amazon! Here is the link below!
That’s it! I have mine sitting by our fireplace, and I love it! So cute! Want to see a few more pictures??
Hope you love it!
I would love for you to share and PIN this advent calendar below!

Very cute! But if you’re going by dimensions given, you will need 4, 1×3′ furring strips, with 21″ left over. Think I might try this one this weekend.
How do you attach the horizontal pieces of wood to the one vertical piece?
What’s the saw you’re referring to? The link is now gone.
Making this today! Really excited about it.
I’m curious too! I want to make one tonight 😉
I love this and it looks so easy to do…well, easy for my husband to do. I’m absolutely doing this next week!
I plan on making 2! One for cards and on for the baggies. What saw did you suggest to use?
