Glass with wishes Advent candle holder

Step 1: Design the envelopes

Take the small envelopes and design them however you like. You can use different pens - from colored pencils to felt-tip pens to metallic-pens. There are no limits to your creativity! Draw colorful patterns or use stencils for precise designs. This makes every envelope unique.

Step 2: Cut out small letters

Cut out matching small letters from white cardboard. These should be large enough to fit easily into the envelopes. If you don't have white cardboard, you can also use colored Paper . Make sure that the cardboard is strong enough.

Step 3: Label the letters

Label the small letters with greetings, messages, puzzles, mindfulness messages or various games and activities. These little surprises make the advent calendar or birthday present particularly exciting and varied. For example, you can write poems, quotes or small tasks on the letters to make the recipient happy every day.

Step 4: Fill the envelopes

Insert the small letters you have written into the designed envelopes. You can also use small stickers or seal to seal the envelopes and add an extra decorative element.

Step 5: Place the envelopes in the storage jar

Place the filled envelopes in a storage jar. You can decorate the jar however you like or leave it plain - it's up to you. The transparent glass allows some of the colorful envelopes to shine through and arouses the recipient's curiosity.

Step 6: Decorate the storage jar

Decorate the storage jar with ribbons. Choose ribbons that match the design of the envelopes and wrap them around the jar. You can also add small tags or labels to make the gift even more personal.
