Easy DIY Advent Calendars

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!

I think I might be able to make this simple beauty with easy to find branches & greenery. Plus, simple black tags which I’d also use for Christmas wrapping.

Another branch advent calendar. I love how natural this feels with the wood tags.

Little wrapped paper gift bags? Genius! This countdown would be easy to re-create, antlers or not!

This advent calendar uses tiny muslin bags and vintage sifters which makes this an extra easy and pretty DIY.

To make this one a little less farmhouse, I might use a woven basket tray instead!
