Advent calendar, Advent wreath, and Advent decorations for 2026: Find quick last-minute projects here and share beautiful projects with the community.

Dear Community,

You know how it goes. The first Sunday of Advent is on November 29, 2026, and if you’d like to make and fill your own Advent calendar or craft your own Advent wreath or decorations by then, you should get started right away. For patterns that require ordering materials first, it might already be too late. That’s why this thread is all about quick patterns that you can ideally make using materials you already have on hand—or even scraps. 

Feel free to upload your own photos here in this thread. 

@Authors,

You can each share 2–3 relevant patterns here. Please post only one pattern per post. Please wait for at least one other author to reply before promoting another pattern. Each pattern you share must have a CR of at least 2%, at least 5 sales, and must be quick to complete, possibly also using scraps. Please ensure that your images and text are of good quality. Good luck! 

This clever star is crocheted from leftover yarn.
Crocheting it is quick and very easy, because only single crochet stitches are used.

You can use it as:

• table scatter
• gift tag
• tree ornament
• bag charm
• starry sky, if you use glow-in-the-dark yarn
• and so on…

HERE is the pattern

Mona (Froschoma_Mona) wishes you lots of fun crocheting and decorating
