The calendar basically consists of 96 folded half boxes – 48 big ones (folded from 15 x 15 cm paper) and 48 small ones (folded from 10 x 10 cm paper).
Fold the paper in half: once towards the bottom and once towards the side. After that, fold all four corners towards the middle and then fold the upper and lower edge towards the middle. This step decides whether it’s the top part or the lower part of the box:
For the larger upper part of the box, leave little space between the folded edges. For the smaller lower part of the box, fold the edges close together. Now fold the short edges towards the middle so that you’ll have a small square.
Unfold the paper again until only the left and right corner shows towards the middle, while the other two corners show up and down. Now fold on the left and right side of the bottom a little flap, so that you are able to fold the lower edge towards the middle for a straight edge of your box. Repeat that for the upper corner – and your box is done.
Have fun crafting this cute DIY advent calendar. We wish you a pleasant Advent season!
