Advent Calendar DIY

Every year since i was small me and my dad have made advent calendar's and i thought i would share with you how we make them so you and your families and friends can try them out too.
                               Supplies Needed:
                               coloured pencils
                               lead pencil
                               2 sheets of white A4 paper
                               A stanley knife
                               Tape
Step 1: get your first piece of white paper and draw 24 shapes onto it (try drawing round objects, like pencil sharpeners or lego pieces etc.)
Step 2: In each shape draw a christmas themed picture. ( these wil turn out as the insides of the flaps)
   Step 3: get your second piece of paper and lay it on top of the first one, then trace around each shape

  Step 4: Draw a christmas picture on your second sheet of paper. (this will be the front of the calendar)
                                   Step 5: Then number each of the squares.
Step 6: Using the stanley knife cut around three sides of each shape. (place something hard like a board underneath so you don't cut the table)
 Step 7: stick both sheets together with some tape, make sure that the sheets are inline.
 
                                            YOUR ADVENT CALENDAR IS READY!
                            
i hope you liked it and try it out, they are nice to give to friends and family or if you want keep them, and open them yourselves. A x
