Step one: Paint the edges and the back of the tree with green paint. I used a lovely shade from Waverly called “Fern”.
Step two: Trace and trim paper to fit the wood tree, trunk, and base.
Step three: Use the Xyron Creative Station to adhere the papers to the wood.
I love your Advent calendar countdown!! TFS 😀
Thanks!
How lovely!! I really like this type of Advent calendar! The little boxes are so sweet!! TFS!
Thank you very much!
I love the Christmas tree idea – and all the fun little packages.
I just have to keep my kids from opening them! ha!
What an awesome idea this is! I love advent calendars and love seeing ones that are so unique. Of course, G45 papers, Petaloo floral & Xyron adhesives are a perfect combo to make it come all together so beautifully as this.
Thank you! The products pair so perfectly!
What a fabulous way to countdown to Christmas!
Thank you!
This countdown tree is beautiful!
Thank you!!
How cool. The boxes will fit some nice little prizes/snacks, too. Thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Fantastic advent tree. Looks simple enough to make. Unfortunately, I don’t have any small kids anymore. They’re all grown and moved away. Maybe when I get grandkids, I can make one of these for them. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
I’m glad you like the idea! Thanks!
OMG!!! Your project is really awesome!!!
awww, thank you!
You’re welcome! <3
Love the idea of adding the presents.
If you put them all on at first and then
take them off you are ruining the
look of the tree.
It’s a wonderful advent calendar.
thanks for sharing.
I think it’s much more fun to build the anticipation (and the tree!)
What nifty number blocks.
Thanks!
Gorgeous and a fabulous
idea! Love how you
decorated the little
blocks.
