I took these adorable masjid envelopes and made an easy peasy advent calendar.. all for under $10! I decided to make one myself because it’s inexpensive and easy. Plus it’s something I plan on using for at least a few years, so why not personalize it?!

What you need

1. Masjid envelopes (tutorial here)
2. Regular envelopes
3. Sharpie
4. Ribbon
5. Mini clothes pins
6. Glue gun and glue sticks
7. Branch (go on an adventure with tour kids to find one)

Let’s get crafting

1. Lay out all your envelopes in order that you want to hang them
2. Start numbering them. I chose to use 3 colours to represent the 10 day blocks in Ramadan (hint there are lots of number calligraphy tutorials on Pinterest!)
3. Cut 3 pieces of ribbon that are 10 inches longer than your rows
4. Make a dot with a sharpies on the ribbon where each clothes pin will be placed
5. Hot glue a mini clothes pin on each dot
6. Tie the ribbon to the stick
7. Add the envelopes, starting at the bottom and work your way up
8. Tie a ribbon to the top to hang your calendar
9. Fill the envelopes with tattoos and stickers and of course good deeds!
