DIY Advent Calendar

The back part of the advent calendar is wrapping paper and the frame is from Ikea 3 years ago! The ornaments are DIY as well (a big project which I really enjoyed working on when the girls were in bed) and if you want something simpler, I shared a much less challenging + budget friendly design last year which can be found over in Instagram, under my story highlights titled, "DIY Advent calendar."
