Steps to Create Your Own Advent Calendar

1. Select Your Envelopes

Head over to JAM Paper and choose envelopes that match your holiday theme. We offer a wide array of colors and sizes, so you can get as small and large as you like.

2. Prepare Your Gifts

Visit your local Dollar store to find small light-weight gifts. Consider items like mini chocolates and candies, tiny toys, fidgets, thoughtful notes or even personal coupons like “One Back Massage”. 
No need to go crazy or overboard on gifts. This small gesture and the excitement of opening something each day is a treat on its own. Fill 24 envelopes with a gift in each, do not seal!

3. Seal

Take your spool of ribbon and place it on top of your filled envelope. Fold the flap over and seal close with the foil wafer.
Add your numbers whenever you'd like. We choose to finish our strand of 6 envelopes, cut the ribbon, and number 1-6 or 7-11 and so on... But you can choose to number at the end or do as you go.

Pull the ribbon through and slide the envelope down. Continue with another envelope until you have a few gifts on the ribbon. For our display we used 6 envelopes on each row for a total of 4 rows of gifts.

4. Hang and Enjoy

Your homemade Advent calendar is ready to be hung up. You could tape it to your wall, as we did, or use a clear push pin on each end of the ribbons to hang.

Come December, each day, rip open an envelope to countdown until Christmas Day! See your loved one's excitement build each day to open and receive their tiny surprise present inside!
