Today we will make a small desktop calendar for 2018, behind which will be the calendar for the whole year, and in front there will be our stencils for every month. And we decorate our calendar in New Year's.

We will need: color cardboard, glue, marker or pencil, any beautiful clippings on New Year's topics from magazines / newspapers, beads, miniature garlands, a mesh thread and our templates.

For printing, the patterns are monthly, from the attachment immediately allocate stencils with numbers from 1 to 12, select the seal of 9 images, remove the picture in the size of the frame, and the printer will give us 2 sheets, then cut out each month individually (6cm * 6cm). We take a bright marker or pencil and highlight holidays with a circle or square, and you can and heart, because we all love to relax

The second option of templates by month can be printed multicolored and to each month to apply your some small photos.

On the side and we glue the calendar for the whole year, riding the main collapse.

Templates with monthly holes, put templates to the cardboard, mark the locations of the holes and cut the holes, then freamed on the side of the month-sided threads of the month to the first split and closer to the right edge.

Now decorate the calendar with various clippings from magazines, lace ribbons, beads and New Year's toys. The last fold of 3 cm can be connected to the back of the calendar with a clip, and insert the notes there. And on the outside, you can attach a picture in such a way that our pockets formed, and this pocket could be put or money, or again the note. Our tear-off calendar is ready.

In order to turn our tear-off calendar, it is necessary to make another 2 holes at the main folding over the previous two, and make the strings to the wax ribbon as in the picture.

At the base of such a calendar, a couple of cubes are located, where the days of the week and a lump of the week with months are applied. The minimum set of numbers from 0 to 5 is applied to one cube.

On the second cube, numbers from 0 to 9 are applied, the number 9 is not applied, since its role may well perform a number 6. The names of the months are applied on the edges of three long bars.

Hi, dear friends of my blog! I have not started writing an article, and the mood is already festive. Still would! After all, today we will inspire magic ideas and create New Year's Advent Calendar 2018. Consider interesting options so that each of you could make it with your own hands, even if you are not used to needle how! And I will give you a lot of cool ideas for the tasks and filling of Advent. These 2 lists are my little present to you so that the calendar is delightful and fascinating.

I do not know how you are, and I have already had two or three years or three years to make a deven calendar for your son. However, something hurt all the time. That fantasy lacked, then mood, then time. But this time I will definitely do it. Just the age of the child is the most suitable (5 years), and you can come up with many interesting tasks, and the younger will be a year old, she will also fall something.

While the Advent calendar options for the coming 2019 were looking for for themselves for himself, many times stumbled on interesting variations in almost any form of needlework. So, if you like to sew, you can put the New Year's bags from multicolored fabric or sew a figure of Santa Claus with pockets. Looks very beautifully, pockets from felt, or with stripes from it in the form of snowflakes and figures.

If you like to embroider, you can embroider a picture on the fabric with the New Year's motive, and under the picture to sew pockets under all days, decoring them symbolic with small elements. By the way, if you take not ordinary fabric, but a plastic canva, then work will keep shape, it is easier to hang on the wall and it will look even more unusual.

Able to knit - prepare multicolored socks or caps, bags. A fond of scrapbooking - re-adjust matchboxes, or full-fledged boxes, make a flip calendar. You can still make an advent album, in which interesting tasks will be hiding in the pockets, and next to them the photo printed later, as the child coped with them. Cool I invented?)

If you like a stove, then look in the direction of the gingerbread houses, or just figurines from the dough - snowmen, men, snowflakes, etc. Write the corresponding numbers on them with a protein cream, and then just follow the child from joy to do not find all creations at once.

But even if you do not know how this, do not hurry to get upset! After all, the advent calendar can be done using any remedy - multicolored, and even the usual white paper, cut or ready-made snowflakes, plastic cups, baby food jars, wooden planks, beads, lace, stickers, tin buckets, boxes, motley socks , caps and more. What is enough for your imagination.

Advent calendar what is it

I was so fascinated by the ideas that I almost forgot to tell you, Advent calendar, what it is in general. Surely, my inquisitive readers will be interested to know how it arose. In general, the word Advent came from religion, which means the period of the beginning of the Christmas post (Adventus - arrival). During the waiting period of the Nativity of Christ, people carefully prepared to him.

Of course, adults knew exactly how long it remains until the holiday. But how to convey it to children, adults solved themselves. For example, the inventive Lutheran Theologian Vihorn solved this question like this. He simultaneously brought up a few ripples, whom he took to his house from the poorest families. And each of them was filled with questions of our hero, when Christmas already comes.

Soon he was tired of him. Still would. Tearing from endless questions, he just left the house before the events. Joke. He built a wreath of a large wooden wheel. Well, what, think you. So, this wheel was carefully decorated with candles, small of which were lit alternately every day. And big on Sundays. After this, the children themselves clearly saw and counted when the long-awaited day comes.

But this is not a single example. Thanks to such questions, another child, his mother somehow baked 24 meringues, attaching them one by one to paper. Her little Gerhard Lang broke them off and eaten her thing a day. Having matured, being inspired by this idea, he proposed to print a calendar of waiting in the printing house where he worked.

So, in the distant 1903, the first printed advent was released in Germany. He consisted of pictures with toys and christmas poems. In addition, the kids might on top of the windows with poems glue special stickers. This produced a real extension, soon and other companies began to develop their calendars.

The popularity of Adventures was experiencing ups and downs, and even depended on the situation in the world. So, in military and hungry time, instead of Christian symbolism and cute pictures, soldiers and cannons appeared. During the shortage of food, chocolate and candy was stopped.

Now these calendars are again popular around the world. You probably have seated chocolate sets with opening doors? In addition to these sell them and in the form of books, toys and posters. But more interesting for the child, probably, still remain those that are made with their own hands.

And by the way, it is not necessary to do such a calendar secretly from the child! If you begin to make it together, in addition to joy and entertainment will bring many more benefits and emotionally close during joint creativity! And what could be more expensive than children's memories?

The beauty of the advent calendar is that children are immersed in the magical expectation of the New Year. And so that they do not bored, you can help cope with the vibrant anticipation, to teach countdown and time, and at the same time spend time with benefit.

How to do it? Every day the child gets a small task that accompanies a new figure in the calendar. Try to be really interesting, and not just informative, and carried the winter theme. You know better for your child.
