Making an advent calendar with little boxes

This advent calendar is made from boxes and little brown bags. Each box is decorated differently which gives it a playful effect. Because of the limited colour pallet, it still looks cohesive. You can put a little chocolate or present in each box and bag and reuse this every year!
