I wanted this advent calendar from Pottery Barn Kids, but $69...I don't think so. Besides, it's sold out anyway.
So, I came up with my own, and it cost about $15.
Need:
12x12{ish}piece of plywood {about $2.
25 boxes. {I got mine for .25 each}
decorative paper {$4}
mod podge glue {$3}
glue on boxes {with lids on} in 5 rows of 5.
Yeah, it's not all perfect and even, but you get the picture.
Then take off all your lids and cover them with your paper, and numbers if you'd like.
Wallah. Easy peasy advent calendar.

Also, LOVE this! Where did you get the boxes, that is key information.
