1. Construct 24 cardboard match boxes.

The Christmas countdown is on!

2. Decorate the boxes using Christmas craft paper, glue and a permanent pen. Allow to dry. 3. Add a loop dot (the soft side) to the back of each box.

5. Arrange the boxes in place on top of the canvas. We have arranged ours in a tree shape in numerical order, but you can arrange them however you like! Take each box one at a time and press the hook dot (the rough side) onto the loop dot before pressing back into position on the canvas. The hook dot will stay fastened to the canvas so the boxes can be carefully pulled off and placed back onto the canvas. 4. Paint the canvas gold and allow to dry before adding any details you wish using permanent pen.

6. Carefully pull each box off the canvas and fill with a surprise, then place back in position. Once full, your DIY Advent Calendar is now ready to countdown to Christmas!
