Maemae was my grandmother’s nickname. I never heard anyone else called that. The red cover reminded me of my mother’s favorite cookbook. All very nostalgic for me. 🥰
You have such excellent tutorials. You have got to be a teacher/professor, because You Are So Good at what you do in your tutorials. I could listen to you and take your classes All Day Long, All Year Long- I am Not Kidding! 😃 You are an absolute delight! 🤩 Thanks for being so laser focused and so clear with your instructions. You make everything look so easy, and I always have a great time trying to reproduce your projects. 💐
Cricut has a great box for this project. Trust me I made 28 advent books last year. That’s 672 little boxes and each had a bow on it. It was fun though.
I think it is a wonderful idea. might I suggest that you get all the 'prizes' you want in your boxes and have a friend fill them for you so you still get a 'surprise' when you open them
Brilliant thank you. I wonder if the box could be put in design space as an svg so we all can cutout the 25 with ease. I have arthritis and that would help.
I guess I’m going to be making lots of boxes for a crafting Advent Calendar for my Mum.../sigh. Wish I could just skip to decorating one 😁 Thank you so much for being so precise with all the measurements to make sure things fold ok & have enough room to open. Now I just have to try to make them work with A4 & A3 cardstock & metric measurements 🤔 I suspect that will make it more than one day’s make & a big headache for me. Oh well. Will be worth it!
I love, love, love this!!! So sweet and just beautiful!!! I have a two year old granddaughter and a four year old great granddaughter who would love these. I better get busy. Thank you so much💖💖💖
Well my fiance and I are making this project. Did mention we are making 3 of them ? Lol . It is alot of work but all 3 girls will love them. My fiance got me into card making and crafting. So this has a good way for me to learn how to use my voucher scan n cut. Thank you for the great tips.
This is so stinking clever!!! I am so LOVING the use of the Sweater paper. It is great for households that don't have much room. My favorite Advent Calendar makes a diorama. Thinking about making one for my daughter and her new baby.
Loving this! Thank you. Teacher / Student Friendly and Patiently accommodating with me in learning. Will use this for creating my own Advent Calendar. Thank you sooooooo much! Donna.
You don't know how HAPPY I am to see this. I make my grandchildren an Advent activity box every year and this will help me tremendously. I need to get busy!! Thanks so much, Maymay. You always make your instructions so easy to follow.
My 49 and Market black cardstock arrived (thank you) so I got started making the boxes. I know you said we don't really need the thumb cut out but I thought of a reason for it. Before I trimmed and folded the boxes, I took that scant half circle out of one end. That way I alwsys knew which was the top for when I trimmed. Big help for me so thought I'd pass that on.
I love this! The best explained advent calendar ever! Thank you 😊. Now I've got to try it, hopefully this year, even though this video was from last year. I just found your channel a short time ago and love it. Thanks for sharing! God Bless.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is amazing. Wish I could get these done this year for my grandkids...but I know it would be pushing it to get them done for 4 families by the end of November. I think I will try to get one done for our 90 year old neighbor. She lost her husband, both sons and her daughter in law all within a few years of each other and has no family left. Thank you so very very much for this brilliant Advent box tutorial. May you have a Blessed Holiday Season...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is amazing Maymay. Maybe one day I will create one to use at my home for the holidays for my grandson to open. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Absolutely gorgeous, got to make this for my grand daughter's 2nd Christmas, it will be her very own Christmas tradition fir years to come, thank you so much May May
Wow! Beautiful project! Great for our elders who may be a bit more lonely than usual at Christmas. As much as I love it for kids/grandkids, I am certain it would not survive more than one Christmas with my family members who purge everything not directly in use! Something I cannot relate to at all!
I love this idea! There are so many families out there that struggle with storage and I think this is a perfect solution for that! It’s all tucked away! Beautiful job!
Maymay you did an outstanding job. This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you. I tried ordering the paper but said it will be in soon. You and Vinnie have a good evening. Raquel
Gonna have to make these for the grandkids. Think I will put in mini candy bars and some money. Will use a combo of 1,5,10 and 20 dollar bills. Think will do a 20 on the 15 as it was my anniversary and then a 10 on the 3rd as that is my birthday. Will use 1and 5 for the rest of the days
Just gorgeous! I've stayed away from most net, for about 6 weeks. Very Ready to order some new adhesive! That Bearly- is Perfect for someone living in Michigan! Thank you for sharing...
I'm so glad you figured it out, I been wanting to make one but didn't see any I liked and some were expensive dies and I still couldn't commit. I think I like this one and its more of what I had in my head but polished. I don't think I will make it this year cause I'm trying to get things in the mail and not pull 19 and nothing got finished or mailed, just Xmas cards. I think I will have to make several next year i want to get them done early so i can make everyone one. This makes me happy and i hope i can pull them off for next year. thanks.
Love this advent calendar ❤ MaywMay I've been subscribed to you for a few years now & When I clicked on this tutorial, for some reason RUclips had unsubscribed me? 😮 I subbed again.

You could always run a piece of decorative ribbon up the center front of the box to create a little pull tab.

Is anyone else doing a happy 💃 because we get a long video?? I love me some long MayMay videos! 😍😀😀😀 I can’t wait to do mine!
This is the cutest advent I have ever seen. Great jon!
Cricut has a great box for this project. Trust me I made 28 advent books last year. That’s 672 little boxes and each had a bow on it. It was fun though.
I made this from Maymay’s video and it was easy to follow.
This is gorgeous. I’m 61 and don’t have any little but I love this and think I might do it for me. Is that selfish? I love Christmas.
I think that's a great idea!! Us adults need a little treat everyday!!
I don' t have any littles and it isn't selfish to make one to enjoy yourself, I am going to make one for each of my 4 brothers' family.
no, you deserve it
Heck no! Enjoy yourself... Merry Christmas!
I think it is a wonderful idea. might I suggest that you get all the 'prizes' you want in your boxes and have a friend fill them for you so you still get a 'surprise' when you open them
Shoot I just have a craft fair Saturday and not enough time just found Monday ... But can make boxes for table Place 🎁. This is so pretty 😊 TFS...
This is great. I have to say, yours are the clearest tutorials I've ever seen anywhere on RUclips.
Thanks!!
Love love love this so pretty…thank you!!!

You are awesome at explaining how to do... this is my you are my favorite 🙂
This is beautiful. Just wish my kids did advent calendars.
Yeah. It's a beautiful book calendar! But with our kids doing Elf on the shelf, too, we may get the little "job" of refilling the boxes for them.😉
So darn cute!
That is precious,thank you!
So cute and clever!
I love, love, love this!!! So sweet and just beautiful!!! I have a two year old granddaughter and a four year old great granddaughter who would love these. I better get busy. Thank you so much💖💖💖

Thank you for being so precise and clear and stating the obvious. The orientation of the paper always messes me up! So great!
Glad I found this. Very nice project.
Absolutely love this xx
you should get a 2 x 18 clear quilting ruler for these wonderful longer pieces
This is gorgeous !

Love it. Great Job!
Really a nice project. Love the paper and design.
I made one like this last year and i have to say my favorite advent calendar. Of course i gave to a friend. Need to make another one
Love that idea. But I would have to make 2 and that is a lot of work. My grandkids are worth it.
I have to make 4! 😳
I only have 1 grandchild, so I am only making 1.
You are the best at explaining. You're a great crafter!
Loved this video!
Awesome thank you!
Very sweet and easy to follow thanks for doing the tutorial
Have a nice day 😘❤️
You are the best. Love it
Your tutorial is soooo detailed and extremely helpful 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. The scoring for placement is genius!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
This is amazing. Wish I could get these done this year for my grandkids...but I know it would be pushing it to get them done for 4 families by the end of November.

Wow! Beautiful project! Great for our elders who may be a bit more lonely than usual at Christmas. As much as I love it for kids/grandkids, I am certain it would not survive more than one Christmas with my family members who purge everything not directly in use! Something I cannot relate to at all!
Awesome, great Christmas project.
