DIY Printable Advent Calendar Village

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

Our big move across Europe from Berlin to Haarlem in the Netherlands may only have just happened, but we’ve already been inspired by living in a new country. 

We absolutely love living here which is why I couldn’t resist creating a Dutch themed advent calendar and have made this super cute printable advent calendar village.

Free Printable Paper Houses for Advent Calendar

The Christmas countdown starts soon and this is the perfect advent calendar to make if you’ve not got much time as you probably already have all of the supplies you need. And, best of all, we’re sharing our free printable advent calendar village template with you, too!

This gingerbread house advent calendar is super easy to make. It does take a bit of time to assemble though as there are obviously a  lot of paper houses to cut out. 

DIY Printable Advent Calendar Village Inspired by Dutch Houses

This is what you will need to make this printable advent calendar village:

  • Paper – we used this 120g white paper
  • Cutting Mat
  • Scissors and/or craft knife
  • Glue
  • Ruler
  • Printer – this is the printer that we have and absolutely love as the prints are high-quality and the ink lasts forever (well almost). We highly recommend it!
  • Free printable advent calendar village (get it below)

This is how to make the paper houses for the advent calendar village:

01

Download the free printable

Just enter your email address below and the free printable will get sent straight to your inbox.

02

Print the paper houses

Once you’ve downloaded the free printable advent village, print it onto some thick paper. We used 120g paper which is ideal for this project as it’s easy to print on and, more importantly, easy to cut and fold. 

03

Cut the advent houses out

When you’ve printed all of the houses, cut them out with a craft knife or some scissors. I prefer to use a craft knife for perfectly straight lines but use what you prefer and feel more comfortable with. 

For tidy folds, score along any lines before folding the house.

04

Fold and glue the advent calendar houses

Now for the fun part! Fold your houses along the scored lines and apply a bit of glue to the tabs.

Start by glueing the base, then glue the side and finally the roof. Only glue one half of the roof in place and just fold the other half in so that you can easily open and close the paper houses to fill them.

Fill & enjoy the advent calendar village

All that’s left to do is fill them with some festive goodies!

These paper advent calendar houses are so easy to make and will add a fun touch of festiveness to any home. And, once you’ve made them you can reuse them year after year.

The advent calendar houses have two sides – one with a number and one without so you can turn them around when the day has gone and you’ve already had your treat.

      I’m sure your grandchildren will love it, Laura! I’ve checked the signup form and it seems to be working fine. You just have to pop in your name and email address and the calendar will be sent straight to you.
      Please try again but let me know if you’re still having problems and I’ll send the calendar straight to you.
