Any other Advent Delinquents out there? Yes, yesterday was December first and we should have been all prepared by then, but please tell me someone else out there got up yesterday morning, looked at the calendar, and thought, Oops! Should have figured it out by now!
I wanted to do the Jesse Tree devotional, but I also wanted some sort of Advent calendar with little pockets so I could tuck little fun activities into each day. However, it was December 1st, I didn’t want to go shopping or spend any money, and, let me make this clear:
I am not crafty.
Hmm… no materials on hand and I’m not crafty. Not sure how an advent calendar can materialize out of nothing. Then this! At 3:45pm, I found this Origami advent calendar online and at 4:29pm it was finished! That’s right, under 45 minutes start to finish. Plus, I didn’t have any festive scrapbook paper, but even with just ho-hum paper it still turned out great! 
Supplies: 3 pieces of scrapbook paper and some glue. That’s it!
All the instructions are here. (I used a hot-glue gun to make it go fast with no dry-time.) This is a truly fun and truly easy way to make an advent calendar. Now, we can do our Jesse Tree devotional, and each day flip down the day’s tab and pull out the fun activity for the day. If you too are an Advent Delinquent, start today and get going on your fun Advent activities!
Happy Folding!
{And Happy Friday! Thanks for reading.}
