Yorkshire Advent Calendar Craft Kit 2025

Right, let's be honest. The minute the autumn leaves start to properly crunch under your boots, a little bit of your brain switches over to Christmas mode. It’s not just about the big day itself, but all the cosy little traditions that lead up to it. And one of the biggest traditions is the advent calendar. But sometimes, another year of tiny, slightly waxy chocolates just doesn’t feel that special. People are looking for something a bit different, something with a personal touch that can be brought out year after year, becoming part of the family’s story. It seems the folks at Craftiosity in Halifax were thinking the exact same thing when they announced their latest creation.

A new take on handmade traditions

There’s a real magic to creating your own decorations. It’s about slowing down and making something with your own two hands. The new Craftiosity advent calendar is built entirely around this idea. It’s a complete kit designed to become a family heirloom. This isn't a one-and-done thing; it's a proper craft project that results in a beautiful, reusable decoration. The whole point is that you make it once and then get to feel that little pang of pride every single December when you hang it up. It’s a wonderful way to start some new handmade traditions. Because this is a special one-off project, it’s a limited edition release. This means there’s only a certain number available, which makes the final creation feel even more unique. It’s a chance to make a truly personalised piece for your home, something that you just can't buy off a shelf. This is the kind of activity that defines the run-up to Christmas, making the anticipation just as much fun as the day itself. The result is a stunning handmade advent calendar that can be filled with whatever you fancy, year after year.

What’s actually in the kit?

So, what do you get? When you open the box, you’ll find everything needed to bring your festive vision to life. The core of this craft project is a set of 25 small, plain drawstring bags, just waiting to be decorated. The kit comes packed with all the creative bits to make them look amazing. Think soft sheets of colourful felt for cutting out festive shapes like stars, trees, or little robins. There’s also a whole selection of threads for adding detail. You get supplies for classic embroidery, allowing for intricate little patterns or numbers to be stitched onto each bag. For a bit of festive sparkle, the kit includes shimmering metallic threads that catch the light beautifully. And for that final touch of glamour, there’s a stash of sparkling embellishments – little gems or sequins to make the designs pop. Once all the bags are decorated, you peg them onto a length of rustic twine, ready to be hung on the wall. It’s a complete package, meaning you don’t have to pop to the shops for anything extra.

More than just a craft project

This is about more than just the finished product. It’s about the experience of making it. It’s the perfect excuse to stick the kettle on, put on a Christmas film, and lose yourself for a few hours in a creative flow. Decorating each of the drawstring bags becomes a lovely, mindful activity. You could even get the family involved, with everyone decorating a few bags each to make it a truly collaborative and personalised advent calendar. Once it's finished, it’s not just a decoration; it’s a story. And because you made it yourself, it makes an incredible handmade gift. Imagine giving this to a friend or a family member – it’s so much more meaningful than something shop-bought. The fact that it’s a reusable advent calendar adds another layer of thoughtfulness. It’s a giftable item that keeps on giving, becoming a cherished part of their Christmas for years to come.
