Description: Get the free DIY advent calendar pattern at jennifermaker.com/felt-christmas-tree-advent-calendar Christmas is just around the corner, and every year I design and make a new DIY advent calendar — a countdown to Christmas! I’ve made 3D Christmas trees with little drawers for gifts and goodies, paper villages with a door for every day, and even ornament stands so you can put a new ornament on the tree. And this year is no different! Our annual advent calendar 2021 design this year is a heartfelt hanging Christmas tree with 25 felt ornaments to decorate each day in December. I’m excited to teach you how to cut felt on a Cricut Explore and Maker cutting machine and then assemble an easy felt Christmas tree advent calendar that you will treasure for years to come.
