Advent calendars are a fun way to countdown to Christmas and what could be more fun for the kids than a fun surprise each day as they do the countdown?! I am loving this gorgeous advent calendar made from a long burgundy ribbon and 24 little muslin bags held on the ribbon with mini clothespins and a paper tag counting down the days. It’s really chic looking and the little muslin bags are perfect for holing a little surprise inside!
Here are some fun advent calendar filler ideas to get you started!
