Hi creative friends,
What a magical week it has been inside the Craft Room!
We continued our 12 Days of Christmas event with six inspiring days of festive creativity… each one filled with clever ideas, beautiful makes, and so much heart from our amazing Design Team.
Their projects have truly captured the spirit of a handmade Christmas, and I’m delighted to share this week’s round-up with you.
Day 7 – Advent Gift Box Ideas
I returned for Day 7 with three easy and fun ideas for creating a full set of Advent gift boxes.
Inside the Craft Room you’ll find printables and tutorials for:
-
Mini Milk Cartons – adorable little cartons ready to be filled with sweets or activity cards.
-
Paper Stars – lightweight, decorative stars that can be ripped open each day.
-
Sour Cream Containers – made using our 5″ x 7″ journal papers.
These projects are quick to assemble and perfect for handmade advent calendars this Christmas.
