Every day, we opened one envelope with a few photos that I printed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That made a daily activity for the girls, creating that year&#8217;s family album with stickers and crafting. It was a last minute idea that I shared on Instagram and couldn&#8217;t share on the blog but this year I don&#8217;t want to be late! So here&#8217;s a photo of our last year&#8217;s wreath:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com2021\/11\/07\/diy-advent-calendar\/?preview=true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1032\" height=\"1369\" src=\"http:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.comwp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image_editor_output_image307212222-16362951026272468172692455893512.jpg?w=772\" alt=\"Easy DIY advent calendar wreath\" class=\"wp-image-3486\" \/><\/a><figcaption>DIY advent calendar wreath<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainable holidays!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot of wild mistletoe that you can pick in the woods, I added it to the wreath and use some envelopes that I decorated with paper news,number tags and rustic rope . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also love old music sheets as Christmas props,so I also used them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I love is that I still have the envelopes and the wire hoop. I will pick more mistletoe and just reuse the rest! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the best way to have your photos of the year printed and it makes a fun family activity (and a sugar free calendar idea?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls muted src=\"https:\/\/atomic-temporary-64974688.wpcomstaging.com\/inshot_20211121_132948042-mp4\/\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We always struggle to get our photos printed, but I love classic photo albums to enjoy with the girls. Kids love to see these memories printed! So that&#8217;s the perfect way to have a yearly album with the highlights of the year. We make some scrapbooking to decorate it and the result is so pretty! Remember that washi tape it&#8217;s greener than regular one: think about it! Use it also if you want to wrap your gifts the classic way! Other ideas to wrap your presents are with reusable bags or fabric!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that you can support my work <a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/scrapsandcoffeegrounds\">Helping me with a coffee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you can follow our adventures on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/scraps.and.coffee.grounds?utm_medium=copy_link\">@scraps.and.coffee.grounds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you liked the idea!xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy DIY Advent Calendar Wreath<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62158176,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[114504],"tags":[726543879],"class_list":["post-3487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-kids-activities","tag-diyadventcalendar-diyideas-christmasideas-handmadechristmasslowchristmas","post_format-post-format-gallery","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3487"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/62158176"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3487"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6730,"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3487\/revisions\/6730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.scrapsandcoffeegrounds.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
