The slightly different Advent candles. I filled bottles step by step with rice and glued the numbers 1 to 4 on the bottles. I glued the bottle lid upside down on the bottle edge and put tea lights in it. On a window sill I decorated this slightly different Advent wreath with a branch. Let yourself be inspired.
Even the smallest can help with this adventure.
