Small paper bag advent calendar.

For Munchkin’s first Advent (we didn’t do one last year) I wanted something she could have a great time opening and, most likely, destroying in the process. So I came up with the concept of making up 24 little paper bags. Each has a different design. We then filled them with little toys, Duplo and a couple of chocolates on surprise days.

I modified my Pretty Patterned Paper Bag template and print them out on 30 pieces of A4 printer paper. The larger bags need to be printed over two pieces and glued together. I then cut them out using an x-acto knife and glued them together using a Pritt stick (paper glue stick).

They’re quite easy and only took me a few hours in front of the television to put them together one evening. I’ve made the template available below in PDF form for you to print out and make up yourself! I hope your little ones have as much fun with this as Munchkin is having. She’s just demolished bag number one.

I’m a maker, designer, gluten-free home baker, and global wanderer. I’m resurrecting this creative endevor after quite a few years of it laying dormant. It’s become something of a challenge, as my old site was so ancient it stopped working when I updated it!

So please bear with me as I get it all running smoothly again over the next few days.
