How To Use The Christmas Advent Calendar Printables

Choose which style Advent Calendar Numbers you like. Do you want to cut shapes or want the straight forward squares you can cut with a paper cutter? Which design do you prefer?
Print our Advent Calendar Numbers – found below.
Cut the numbers using either precision scissors or a paper cutter (depending on which style you chose).
Place on wrapped gifts!
Print the Christmas Advent Calendar Care Package Box Decor – found below.
Cut the shapes!
Use a 1/8″ hole punch and punch two holes at the top of each Christmas light.
Use jute to thread through the holes, leaving a generous tail at each end (in case your college student wants to hang the lights for decoration).
Adhere the Box Decor to the inside flaps of your care package box using an adhesive applicator.
