Affirmation Advent Calendar

Christmas is officially around the corner! And what is my favorite thing around this holiday? Advent Calendars!.... In this DIY advent calendar you can put goodies in the envelopes for yourself or your loved ones, but I chose to fill each day with positive words of affirmation for myself. It is common to see 12 day advent calendars, for this one I chose to make it 25 days, make it your own it is DIY after all! The more positive affirmations the better in my book. First I started out with a piece of MDF and painted it with black chalkboard paint. This way you can draw whatever you want on the board and the next holiday just wipe it away and draw something new. 

Once the paint is dry I lightly hammered push pins on the sides of the board, and then painted the tops of the push pins.

Next I brought out my twine, decorated and affirmation stuffed my envelopes, and  brought out some mini clothes pins (I chose red to get in the Christmas spirit).

Taking the twine I lightly tied a knot around the the push pin on each side, leaving the twine a little loose in the middle of the board so the envelopes hang correctly. Once the twine is hung you can start clipping up your stuffed envelopes. And then repeat until you achieve your finished product.

Once you are finished hanging up your twine and stuffed envelopes, you can add some sleigh bells and draw something nice on your board with some chalk. I chose a nice branch to draw at the top of my board and add a cluster of bells for a festive touch. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post! This advent calendar was super fun to make and not going to lie may have started a DIY spark in my heart. 

Positive vibes from me to you!

Love Always,
