DIY Scandinavian Advent Calendar

November 20, 2023 Leave a Comment

If you’re eager to add a touch of Scandinavian charm to your holiday season, you’ve come to the right place. In this tutorial post, I will guide you through the magical journey of creating your very own DIY Scandinavian Advent Calendar.

Embracing the simplicity and elegance of Scandinavian design, this Advent Calendar will not only add a festive flair to your home but also bring a sense of anticipation and joy to the countdown to Christmas.

Supplies Used To Make This DIY Scandinavian Advent Calendar

Red and White Baker’s Twine

Air-Dry Clay

Wood Dowels

Walnut Stain

Number Stamps

Cookie Cutter

Drill

Small Paintbrush

Rolling Pin

Black Pen

Steps To Create This DIY Scandinavian Advent Calendar

  • First, roll out the clay. You don’t want to make it too thin. The stars will be delicate so roll the clay a bit thicker. Work in small batches so the clay doesn’t dry out as you work. 

stamps

  • Once the clay is rolled out, cut out your shapes. You can use any cookie-cutter shape you like.

  • Once you have the shapes cut out, use your number stamps to add the numbers to the shape. Also, use the end of a small paintbrush and poke a hole in the top of your shape for hanging.
  • Let the stamped shapes dry overnight. 

pen

  • Once the clay was dry, I used a black pen to color the numbers.

  • Next, I stained the wood dowels. I had three wood dowels and used those. You could use on longer dowel or two. You can make this however you like. I just used what I had on hand.
  • We drilled holes in the dowels so we could “tie” them together with twine. (See the full video of me making this project below).
  • Then, I tied red and white baker’s twine to the holes in the stars at different lengths.

I love the way it turned out. It is so simple but so festive. It reminds me of holiday Scandinavian decor that I love.
