DIY Advent Paper Bags

Creating DIY Advent paper bags is a delightful and crafty way to count down to the holidays! Feel free to get creative with the designs, whether it's with glitter, stickers, or even a personal touch like handwritten notes. Once you've decorated the bags to your heart's content, fill each one with small treats or trinkets like candies, tiny ornaments, or holiday-themed jokes. As you hang them up with twine or pegs, the anticipation and joy of opening a surprise each day will surely make this DIY project a cherished tradition for you and your loved ones during the holiday season. Happy crafting!

To make: Draw windows, a door, and a roof on 24 small paper bags using a white paint pen. Write the numbers, one through 24, on the bags with a red pen. Use a small hole punch to punch two holes through the bags. Fill bags with treats then tie closed with red and white baker’s twine, adding a holly leaf, if desired.
