I find these recycled gift tags great!

As well the round as the rectangular elements can depending on the season easily be cut from old Birthday, Christmas, Easter, Spring or whatever cards, or from matching gift wrap papers that are glued to white paper for reinforcement.

In place of the gift wrap papers you should also can use pages from old books, beautiful pictures from (travel) brochures or self-made or self-stamped paper.
And photos.

And, yes, you should also be able to make a coupon Advent calendar! :)

And then you can also embroider, doodle, paint, cut to paper flowers the elements.
And incorporate small beads or yarn threads.

Whew, my imagination rans riot again ;-))

Aren’t the knitted cork Christmas trees cute?!
They are meant to embellish bottle corks, but actually you can make from them a beautiful coupon Advent calendar :)

By the way, you can get at Drops a very good (not only) knitting dictionary.

Wire and Yarn Mobile

The wire and yarn mobile is surely nice in every season, however I can imagine the letters also very well as gift tags (e.g. for Christmas) or the single elements as numbers for the Advent calendar.

Knit a beautiful Estonian lace inspired shawl on the 24 days of Advent, every day a little bit.
In case that you don’t need a shawl simply make it a tablerunner :)
The picture just gives you an idea of what you will knit but (hopefully ;-)) don’t spoil the surprise.

Note: There is the group unikatissima at ravelry where you can discuss this pattern and my other patterns, too and where you can show us your wip (work in progress).
You can register at ravelry with your username and a valid email address only, with all other information about you it’s up to you whether you give them (at least it was like this when I registered ;-)).

Crochet Doily Christmas Tree

The crochet doily Christmas tree is made from crochet doilies which were starched with sugar water and sewn together: simple and most beautiful! :)
If you too want to make such a little tree for Advent you should possible start soon to crochet doilies :)
And if you don’t like a Christmas tree you can also sew together your doilies in other shapes, e.g. as snow man.

I presented very similar stamp decorated salt dough ornaments before, but because I find that the stamped salt dough ornaments of today don’t only look beautiful at Christmas, I want to present them, too :)

Now is the time for oranges anyway, then you can make from the orange peels a fragrant orange flower bouquet :)
But there’s more that you can make from orange peels.
Sounds like a very healthy time ;-))
