DIY Advent Calendar

Hey Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and also having a safe Black Friday and NOT going out there in that madness. Personally, I don't get it, but apparently people love it. I say, stay home, eat leftovers and watch my videos!

This build was fun to do. I've always wanted an Advent Calendar and I made one in the past that mimicked a clock, but I always forgot to move the hands. I've seen versions of these all over Pinterest and decided to make my own with my own star and my own ornaments.

I think it turned out great and the Infused ink on wood worked out perfectly! Don't forget to watch that video if you haven't already.

I hope you enjoyed this video and the holiday graphics! If you are looking to make one for yourself, my cut list is below. Thank you for watching, thank you for your support and for coming back! If you are new. WELCOME! Please don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

Wood:
6: 3/8 x 2" x 2'
1: 3/8 x 2" x 3' (longer for the last row)
1: 3/4 Square Dowel (longer then 2' for the tree trunk and base)
Here is my answer on why I did extra rows. As you will see, the first row is for 2 ornaments that are not part of the calendar. I added this row because I thought it just look better. The 7th row is more for stability for the last row of ornaments. You don't have to do this. I just thought it looked better.

Cut list and spacing: Row cuts with be @ 32°
row 1: 4.5"
row 2: 7.5"
row 3: 10.5"
row 4: 13.5"
row 5: 16.5"
row 6: 19.5"
row 7: 22.5" optional but looks better with it.

Use a paint stir stick to space the rows. If your don't have one, the spacing is 1.25"

Cut your dowel to the height you want. Mine is 24" (leaving 2" at the top for the star. Cut 4 extra dowels to 5" for the base.

Centering your rows on the dowel:
rows
1= 2.75" from center
2= 4.55"
3= 5.75"
4= 7.25"
5= 8.75"
6= 10.25"
7= 11.75"
