Kids are as excited as ever for Santa to come. Implementing an advent calendar into December is a great way to keep them focused on their excitement.
This rustic one is just darling and acts as the perfect counter.
Keep it minimal, add covers over each number as the month progresses, or have small presents on standby—whatever works best for your lifestyle.

The rustic snowman is a great alternative to his beaded brother above. The best part about these guys is that they can be any size of scrap wood you have lying around.

One of the most fun ornaments to make by far with the little ones! I don’t know if it’s the googly eyes, the size of the craft, or the simplicity of it, but it’s always a hit.
Don’t sleep on this wonderful megapack of different-sized googly eyes.
8. Farmhouse Christmas Sign

Every year, I shop around any holiday and see these great farmhouse signs, but they are overpriced!
Well, I gave it a go last year and made my own farmhouse-style inspired Christmas sign.
The results? It looks just as good as the ones in the store.

18. Kid’s Rudolph Wood Slice Ornament

Along with the snowman wood slice, these are just so much fun! The two paired or as options work great for a group of kids or siblings crafting together.
Let them go creative with one or two and a few traditional ones if they are faster workers than the rest of the kiddos.

19. Wood Burnt Christmas Trees

These wood-burnt Christmas trees are unique and a little off the beaten craft path—so if you’re looking for that, this is the craft for you!
Upcycle old wooden blocks or grab scraps from the store or your collection and give them a little heat!
Channel the idea you’re roasting a s’more. Most of us don’t want it burnt to a crisp but use your judgment for how much of the effect you’d like on your Christmas trees.
20. Rustic Bell

Like the star crafts, I find bells at the craft stores regularly during the holidays (if you can’t find them, this is a great pack). Add anything on hand; buttons, pom poms, and stickers work.
21. Personalized Christmas Eve Sign

For possibly the coziest idea, why not try this personalized Christmas Eve sign? I used my Cricut for this particular one, but painting one onto a board works just as well.
