Cork Advent Calendar

Make it a priority to count down the days to Christmas with a DIY advent calendar hung front and center in your home's entry. To do this, you need a frame, a basic cork board, holiday note cards and ribbon. Add five rows consisting of five cards in each row to the cork board with push pins. Mark the inside of each card with the numbered days. Tip: Year to year, you can change up the look of your advent calendar's style by changing out the cards.
