How to make it
Choose either A4 or Letter size, both are included.
How to create the front:
- Open the FRONT file in Adobe Acrobat Reader (yes, even if you have Acrobat Pro!) on a computer (a tablet will not work). Get Adobe here for free
- Write your own holiday greeting (some alphabets will get a different font)
- Save if you want to be able to edit later
- Print in Actual size on good paper (glossy photopaper or your choice)
Use your own square photos, or create your own art. Both options included!
How to create the inside:
- Open the INSIDE file in Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Click on each numbered square to add your own SQUARE image
- You can use bonus images included if you don’t have enough images
- Print in Actual size on good paper
- Save if you want to be able to edit later
How to put it together:
- Cut each frame, but not fully, just so it still stays attached, but is easy to remove later. Cut the corners good, that makes it easier to open. Leave a little bit in the middle of each side you cut.
- Choose to have the doors stay attached once opened (leave one side uncut), or completely removed.
- Make sure to put the front on top of the inside, and that they are both turned upwards
- Glue edges together or use double sided tape
- Optional: put a piece of ribbon or a paper clip as a top holder to be able to hang your advent calendar easily
Some extra tips:
Cut the frames, but leave a tiny bit still attached. Choose to have the door stay attached when opened, or taken off completely.
