5 Easy DIY Advent Calendars

I’ve gone and done it again! Every year I promise myself I will start early and create an advent calendar well before December first. But, here we are, closing out November and I’m scrambling! With just a few days left, I’ve gathered up some of my favorite simple, beautiful DIY advent calendars that we can whip up in no time. 

Much like my Essential Holiday Gift Guide, I chose simple advent calendars that are a little bit modern, minimal, and neutral. This makes them easy to incorporate into any home!
