While some may associate advent calendars with chocolate and childhood, this wine bottle craft puts a decidedly adult spin on the Christmas countdown. From the blog Sweet Life A La Carte, the DIY advent calendar uses green glass wine bottles with homemade labels to indicate the day in December.
You can approach this wine bottle craft in a few different ways. One is to have a very merry time by essentially consuming a bottle of wine a day (which is probably best attempted socially, but could also work as an extremely ambitious solo project). Another option is to use empty bottles and place a fun (but very small) treat inside for you to discover daily.
