The Advent season is filled with anticipation, sparkling lights, and little surprises. It becomes even more special when you create your own Advent calendar – a personal gift made with love. In this article, you’ll find five creative DIY Advent calendar ideas that are guaranteed to light up someone’s eyes.

1. Upcycling Advent Calendar in a Jar

Instead of 24 little packages, you can use one large jar or several small mason jars. Paint them with festive motifs or simply tie a pretty ribbon around them and fill them with sweets, teas, vouchers, or jewelry – and your homemade Advent calendar is ready! Perfect for everyone who loves it minimalist yet personal.

2. Advent Calendar Made from Paper Bags

Simple and beautiful: Small kraft paper bags attached to a string make for a minimal yet decorative Advent calendar. You can decorate each bag festively, label them, or stick on number stickers and fill them with little surprises – from lip balm to a delicate bracelet.

3. DIY Advent Calendar with Jewelry

A particularly lovely idea: Wrap small jewelry pieces like charms with a matching necklace or bracelet, sweets, or beauty products as daily surprises and fill the PURELEI DIY Advent Calendar with them. Our decorative fillable Advent calendar can be hung up and easily filled with beautiful PURELEI jewelry, sweets, vouchers, and other thoughtful gifts. Plus, it’s reusable – year after year it brings joy and adds to the excitement of Christmas every December day!

4. DIY Advent Calendar with Fabric Bags

Fabric bags are sustainable and can be refilled year after year. You can paint them, stamp them, or decorate them with glitter. Perfect fillings include beauty products, handwritten notes, or small accessories.

5. Quick & Easy: Bookshelf Advent Calendar

A super creative idea: Turn a bookshelf into an Advent calendar. Wrap 24 small gifts in different shapes and sizes and arrange them decoratively on the shelf – almost like a festive artwork that doubles as Christmas decoration.
