Cut the wrapping paper twelve times for each size: for the larger boxes in DIN A4 format, for the smaller boxes in the format 18 cm x 20 cm. Fold the long sides of the paper sheets to the center. For an exact result, mark the center on the short sides with the pencil.

Coat the wooden ring with the gold paint, allow to dry. Decorate the top part with twigs and attach a ribbon. Hang it on the wall and arrange the parcels with the golden yarn. This is just one of many Advent calendar ideas!
