Christmas/Advent Cards with Candles

You can easily make simple and beautiful Christmas cards or Advent cards yourself. An old book and you can make a few candles out of it on a map. I'll show you how to do it!

Socks for Santa Claus

We're putting up socks for Santa Claus.
So that Nicholas also knows who owns which socks, we make a star clip.
Now Santa can come by.

On the eve of St. Nicholas' Day, the cleaned boots are put in front of the door with many families. We hang socks on our front door, but before that little Nikolauses are made out of the socks. How can I show you here:

Klapperstern Advent Calendar

Remember my childhood! Every evening in Advent we were allowed to open one of these stars. They hung in our nursery by the window. They were made in a community project, filled but secretly by our mother. Every evening another of my siblings was allowed to open one, the content was shared – it was something special!
These rattle stars aren't hard to make.

Advent Stakes

Last-minute Advent candles. An Advent wreath replacement for late deciders?. Take 4 cups and turn them upside down. On the cup floor fit wonderful tea lights. Place them on it and label the cups still with the numbers 1 to 4. So quickly you have conjured up a table decoration. With an ivy tendril or a fir branch the Advent can come.

Advent bottles - the modern Advent wreath

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.

Advent wreath for the smallest

Advent calendar fir trees

A simple but effective Advent calendar is this calendar made of fir trees. Let the children make the trees and surprise them for the first Advent with small gifts or stories underneath. Everything you need for it is white paper, a tacker and a few stars and ribbons to decorate.

Noble Advent candles

Advent candles are different! Sustainable and with little effort the candles look noble and offer a real alternative to the Advent wreath. Use 4 empty cans, remove the labels and glue them with the numbers 1 to 4. Then you place a candle on the can and already the first Advent can come.

Advent Calendar Snowmen

From empty cans you can make a beautiful Advent calendar! Start collecting in time or ask friends and grandparents for cans. The reuse of waste material is definitely sustainable.
Make 24 snowmen with your children and stick them on the tin cans. You then take the filling. So you have a nice little adventure with your children. And if you don't have so many cans to hand, I have some tips for you.
Look for yourself!
