I Built a Christmas Village Advent Calendar // YOU Can BUILD This
Oct 24, 2026
In this WoodStory I built a Christmas Village Advent Calendar. It has four little wooden houses, a tree and a base with 25 holes. Each day, you move the tree one hole along. When it reaches 25, Christmas is here!
This is a great first project for beginners. The cuts are simple, and most of the work is drilling, sanding and painting. It takes about 3 to 4 hours and about $10 to $15 of wood.
The plan has step-by-step pictures with sizes in inches and mm. You also get paper templates to print at home. If you have a CNC, the CNC files are included (Carbide Create and SVG, for 1" wood, set up for a Shapeoko 5 Pro). There is also a laser file for the numbers 1 to 25.
So go grab your tools and let’s start this WoodStory.
