How to Make a Last-Minute Holiday Activity Advent Calendar Using Recycled Envelopes

Looking to put together a super easy, festive and fun last-minute DIY Advent Calendar? My family always looks forward to the first of December because that’s when we start our holiday activity advent calendar — which helps us bond even more as a family during the holiday season.

I choose activities for the advent calendar based on traditions that we love to do during the holidays. Then, I sprinkle in a few new activities each year. For example, this year we have a surprise mini vacation at a nearby beach. You can make a simple, recycled holiday activity advent calendar using that stack of leftover envelopes you have acquired over the years. Jump over to Inhabitots to learn how to put one together tonight in a few easy steps.

    Tanya,

    It definitely is and has become my favorite because I will be able to use it again next year!

    Hi Angie,

    Absolutely! I did incorporate a couple that were in great shape – the others were leftover from holidays past.

    yeah…I have pretty much gotten rid of all the junk mail in my life, but I still have some bill envelopes and the like that I just can’t seem to stop and a person could totally use those.
