Download and print my free advent calendar !
Last year, I created my own advent calendar ! =D
I wanted to share it with you, and you can download it for free and directly from the blog (with no tracking or advertising). It's Christmas before Christmas! ♥
What you'll need :
- • the illustrations of the advent calendar to download here
- • a printer
- • some tape
- • some glue
- • a cutter
- • a cutting board
1. Download
Download the .zip folder, et right-click "Extract all files" if you're on Windows. If you have a different OS, you'll know better than me how to extrat files from a zipped folder.
2. Print
Print both files as pictures and check "fill all the page" in your printer settings. Be careful to print on two sheets (yes it consumes paper and ink but there's no date on it so you can reuse it next year !).
Except for Moustache the panda and the Christmas tree, I used rather light colors in order to reduce ink consumption.
3. Cut
Cut the windows on 3 sides. I used a paper cutter, but I think a basic cutter with a clean blade can also do it. Mine is old and I only use it to cut cartons, so I didn't use it for this purpose.
Be careful, don't cut yourself before Christmas (nobody wants to go to the emergency, not before Christmas, et even more during this year !)
(On pictures my finger is above the cutter.)
4. Fold (optionnal)
I created the folds of all the windows, so it is easier to open them later. If you wan them to stay well closed, you can skip this step.
5. Assembly
Now I can place the sheet with the small illustrations under the sheet with the windows.
First, I gather the sheets by the top-left corner (next to the windows), and I apply tape on the corner to be sure that the windows are well above the drawings.
Then, I can apply glue on the tiny parts between windows in order to stick the two sheets together.
I press with my finger on the parts where I put glue. I add tape on all the corners.
And voilà !
Easy, isn't it ? =)
