DIY Christmas Advent Calendar with Cricut

This post is sponsored by Cricut. All opinions are 100% my own.

Christmas for me is all about giving so I thought the best way to count down to that special day would be to give a gift each day! With this Christmas advent calendar you can make it a Christmas tradition with your kids, use it with your Elf on a Shelf or maybe give someone a gift outside of your home every day!

Iron on can be used for so much more than fabric. I used only iron on vinyl for this full wood calendar!

This Christmas advent calendar will get you in the gift giving spirit for 24 gifts till christmas! #cricutmade #cricutholiday

What you need for your advent calendar
  • Wood piece (I just used some scrap wood of plywood)
  • Wood gift tags
  • Iron on vinyl
  • Cricut Explore Air 2
  • Spray paint (optional)
  • Design Space Project
  • Mini command strip hooks

Start by spray painting your board if you’d like! I did mine my favorite gold.

Next you will use the project I’ve created for you to cut out your iron on. Be sure to ‘mirror for iron-on’!

Now you will iron on your vinyl. This is so simple! Using heat transfer vinyl almost makes me spoiled because it’s so much simpler to me than regular vinyl. I didn’t have to use any transfer tape. The only real difference I found between fabric and wood is that I like to pull off the plastic on fabric while it’s still warm. With this it was much easier to wait till the plastic cooled.

You can see I also did the same thing to the board after it had been painted!

Then you will attach your little hooks. I did 4 rows of 6!

I tied each tag with some jewelry wire but any ribbon, wire or string will work.
