Choosing an Advent calendar for teenagers can prove more difficult than getting them to look up from their phone during dinner. Teenagers are often difficult to give gifts to. Their interests change in the blink of an eye and it's often hard to know what they're even interested in. This list of Advent calendar ideas for teens should help you find something they'll enjoy opening in the 25 days leading up to Christmas.
Window calendar:Don't have much space? Hang the calendar on the window. Adjust two or three spring-loaded curtain rods to the width of the window (wrap them with pretty ribbon beforehand). Then hang the decorated bags on the poles.
Gift tags: To create this stylish calendar for the upcoming holidays, use hot glue to attach fabric to a foam board. Place the purchased tags (six per row) on pins. Mark each date with circles by printing out the numbers and punching a hole in each circle. Finally, add your Christmas decorations to each date.
Plastic cup advent calendar for teenagers: You probably already have everything you need for this adorable DIY. Simply fill plastic cups with small gifts and wrap them with tissue paper and a rubber band. Hot glue everything to a foam board to set up the decorative display.
Other DIY suggestions you might find useful
Use a ladder for the Advent calendar: In December, place numbered fabric bags on a ladder (if you don't have one, we recommend buying one. A ladder is a great accessory for the apartment on which you can put flower pots at any time of the year). Fill them with small gifts of your choice.
Take-Out Box Advent Calendar for Teens:If you find a set of colorful take-out boxes, simply fill them with small gifts and create an organized pile.
Make your own Advent calendar for teenagers with a bottle drying rack: Whether you found it at an antique store or bought it new, a bottle drying rack makes a great base for a DIY Advent calendar. Fill each bag with a small gift and decorate with small Christmas accessories before hanging one on each hook.
Envelope Advent calendar:Tape 25 envelopes to the front of an unused memo board or chalkboard for an easy DIY. Fill the envelopes with small chocolates and love notes for your teen.
