How to Make Your Own Advent Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n\t
  1. Download and print.<\/li>\n\t
  2. Cut the windows on page 1 by trimming three sides of each numbered box (make sure a grownup does this). You’ll need to leave the left edge attached as a flap.<\/li>\n\t
  3. Line up the two sheets (the numbered sheet needs to go on top) and make sure each flap lines up with the matching illustration.<\/li>\n\t
  4. Use either double-sided tape<\/a> or a glue stick<\/a> to glue the sides of both sheets together.<\/li>\n\t
  5. Close all the flaps so you don’t spoil the surprise!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
