| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Cardboard shoe box or photo box with a lid (ours is 11
½ by 4 ½ by 7 ¾ inches)
Scissors Masking tape Ruler Paper clip About 26 feet of tan paper twist, depending on box size (available at craft stores) Tacky glue or 3 to 4 .29-ounce glue sticks 3-inch square of card stock About 9 sparkly gold pipe cleaners | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: yarn | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  To make the roof, cut apart the edge of the lid at each
corner. |
| 2. |  Cut off one long edge. Flatten both short edges and place
masking tape as shown and on the reverse side. Cut in at the
center of the remaining long edge. Use a ruler or table edge to
bend the lid in half at that point. Tape together the halves of
the edge to hold the fold in place. Tape a paper clip to the roof
as shown. This will hold the star or angel. |
| 3. |  Cut the paper twist into lengths to cover the box and roof.
Untwist and flatten each. Glue the strips to the box inside and
out. Cover the roof, letting the strips extend over the
edges. |
| 4. |  Attach the roof with masking tape, allowing an overhang in
front. |
| 5. |  Cut a 3-inch star from card stock. Wrap the star with gold
pipe cleaners. To finish, twist the end of the last pipe cleaner
into a hook at the back as shown. Hang the star from the paper
clip on the stable roof.
