Tealight Advent Calendar

Instructions No. 2688
Instructions No. 2688     Difficulty: Beginner  Working time: 3 Hours

Are you looking for an alternative idea for an Advent calendar that is not filled with sweets? Then this tealight Advent calendar is just the thing. The candles are numbered from 1 to 24, so the recipient can keep a tea light burning every day until Christmas Eve.

Teelicht Adventskalender selber basteln

How to create the tealight advent calendar

First, stick 24 tea lights with different tapes.

Stamp the Advent numbers on the transfer paper (the stamping ink must be waterproof), cut it to size and transfer it to the candles as follows:

Place the transfer paper in a bowl of water. After a short time, the stamped transparent foil will detach from the backing paper.

The numbers can now be placed on the tea lights. Finally, the foil only needs to be dabbed dry a little.

Stick self-adhesive cork on the lid of the screw jar and on a candle spout. Now glue the candle spout to the lid with craft glue.

Attach a cord to the lid and decorate it with a bow and jingle bells.

For a special surprise effect, hide small messages or lovely sayings under the tealights. As soon as the candle wax is completely liquid, these are revealed.

To do this, cut a piece of cardboard the size of the tea light, write on it with a marker and poke a hole in the middle. Remove the wick from the tealight, put the cardboard on top and then the tealight again.
