I absolutely adore the countdown to Christmas. I know it\u2019s lots of hard work but when you\u2019ve got children it can be so much fun too. There are loads of great Christmas crafts to try, recipes to bake and excitement to be had. One of the Christmas crafts the kids have really enjoyed over the years is Homemade Advent Candles.<\/p>\n

DIY advent candles are a fun addition to advent calendars. \u00a0We open our calendars in the morning and then light our homemade advent candles in the evening while we\u2019re having dinner. It gives us two hits of Christmas is looming excitement every day!<\/p>\n

\"HOMEMADE<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve enjoyed making homemade advent candles with my children for years now. It\u2019s an easy craft to set up and a lovely way to spend a cold and rainy afternoon tucked up inside when your thoughts are just beginning to turn to Christmas creeping up in the distance.<\/p>\n

My kids have enjoyed making advent candles since they were tiny and just starting out with their mark making. It\u2019s been fun to see them making their designs more intricate as they\u2019ve got older. I really like the tiny holly leaves and totally original swirls we\u2019ve got on this year\u2019s candles.<\/p>\n
