Creative, modern Advent calendar with glasses

Advent calendar with glasses - winter landscape

What you need:

• 24 x Ball Mason jars (here we used 12 x Ball Mason jar | Quilted | 120 ml , 11 x Ball Mason jar | Quilted | 240 ml and 1 x Ball Mason jar | Wide | 475 ml )
• 24 x Chalkboard Paint Lids for Ball Mason Jars
• 1 chalk marker
• Napkins or tissue paper as a privacy screen for the gift
• Mini Christmas trees for decoration
• pine cones
• LED light chain for decoration

And here's how it works: Use a chalk marker to write the numbers 1 - 24 on 24 blackboard paint lids. Liquid chalk markers, such as those from Edding, are particularly suitable. We recommend a thickness of around 2-3 mm with a round tip. You can also decorate the lids with small paintings and ornaments and highlight special days such as St. Nicholas' Day with a Santa hat. 24 Surprises: Advent Calendar in Jars chalkboard paint lid Now it's time to fill them - wrap the small gifts in paper (napkins, tissue paper or similar) if you want to keep them hidden - but that's not necessary because you can't 100% see the contents of the Ball Mason jars with quilted pattern due to the diamond pattern :) Put the chalkboard paint lid on the Ball Mason Jar , screw it on with the ring (ring is included with the jar) and place the jars in a pretty place in the apartment as a small winter wonderland . The windowsill is a good place for this. Add a few mini fir trees, maybe twigs and cones and as a little highlight, a battery-operated LED light chain . You can simply pull the LED light chain across the landscape - the LED light wire is very flexible. It’s ready: your winter landscape Advent calendar.
