Christmas is coming ! - Advent Calendar - Calendario de Adviento with Craftelier

Hello everyone happy Friday ! I hope you have had a great week and something nice planned over the weekend.

Were going out for lunch on Sunday with friends, trying out a new restaurant that's had loads of great reviews.  Fingers crossed x

A few weeks back I ordered a wooden advent calendar from Craftelier - we always buy a calendar and I was getting fed up of the little chocolates and generally quite naff pictures so decided we would have our own that we could fill with yummy chocolates - 1 each every day rather then having to share.

The calendar made by Artemio comes pre-assembled and I was really pleased with the quality!  I only had a little sanding around some of the edges to do before I could start to paint it.

I also bought some of the little stickers to add to the drawers once painted.... IT took me a few weeks to find some quite time to get on with it but after a couple of afternoons work its now finished and ready...

I'm really pleased with how it looks - I painted it with some acrylic paints in shades of blues, greens and silver and cream and added a little silver gilding wax around the edges of the drawers and a few sparkly sequins here and there to catch the light.

It's now filled with yummy chocolates too all ready for 1st December!

I hope that you like my project today and you'll come back to see my next project 

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
