The ornaments on the Christmas Tree Advent Calendar (released last Friday) are so amazing that I thought they were worth a second look. Even if you do not follow the Advent tradition you will want to make the ornaments; they are truly mini works of art. Use them as they are or enlarge them. Either way they will be the perfect compliment to a holiday tag, card or gift. It won’t take long for you to come up with ways to make them uniquely your own:
- Use white flocked paper for a fuzzy snowman.
- Enlarge the gingerbread people and cut them from chipboard.
- Use the cottage as the beginnings of a candle luminary.
- Santa could be cut from vinyl and mounted on a wooden plaque. Add a special greeting and hang him by your front door to greet holiday guests.
- You could make a bunch of candy canes and hang them from twine to make a fun banner.
- Enlarge the sleigh, attach to a box that has the side cut to match the sleigh contour and fill to overflowing with Christmas treats.
Oh my, I better get crafting! I have more ideas than I will ever have time for!! I hope I have inspired you to take a second look at these beautiful designs.

Happy Holiday Crafting!

These are so nice. Thanks for the ideas and the inspiration for them.
These are wonderful, going to use a few of these!
I love these ornaments but can I make a suggestion for a cutting file. I would love a 3d Xmas tree to hang these ornaments on to, is this possible. I am looking on the forum where we can suggest cutting files but not quite sure which place to post? Can you point me in the right direction?
Great ideas! Let’s get to work!
I appreciate the nudge to look at this project as more than just an advent calendar. I sort of glossed over it the first time because it wasn’t a project I was interested in making but now you have opened my eyes to the possibilites of the components. So thanks for making me take a second look and realize that there are some great files here.
Is this PAz, as an ornament
