Last year we put together a little tree garland with paper rings. It served as our Advent Calendar with little things to do each day.
This year we decided on a tree and star Advent Garland. We still added little things to do each day: cocoa by the fire, read a christmas book, make cookies. Nothing fancy and I made sure to plan out the days so it works with our schedule. I would love to have a fancy mom made calendar, but time was short and anything to keep the girls busy. So cookie cutters for patterns, leftover scrapbooking paper, and a little hard work by Annie a beautiful kid made garland we had. 
I love all the backwards numbers.
If ever I was to make a garland I would be sure to find some great inspiration from one of these links.
