Beer advent calendar

Posted by Christina

Richard’s family gets the same advent calendar from us every year: a beer advent calendar. It is always appreciated, requires little work and can be done last minute. This year’s version looked like this:

Here’s what you need to do to make your own:

Get a crate of beer, some brown paper, white ribbon, alphabet stickers, felt or paper shapes (or other decorations that you have around), round stickers and a glue gun.

Glue the brown paper around the crate. We only covered the lower part of the crate with the paper. Then glue your ribbon onto the paper. We glued the ribbon onto the top edge of the paper to give everything a polished look. Use your paper shapes or other decorations like stickers to embellish the front side of the crate. We glued some felt leaves and circles on the upper left corner of the front of our crate. We also used black alphabet stickers to write “Enjoy” on the paper covered part of the crate.
