Top Tip
Add a sprinkle of white glitter to your snowy scenes for some Christmas sparkle. The easiest way to fix the glitter is with a light application of spray glue over the cotton wool, masking any areas with a scrap paper where you don’t want the glitter to stick.
How to Make
- For the 3D frame, paint the lid section of a mini craft box on the inside and outside, then leave it to dry. Use any shape of box, depending on your design. Snowy House Scene:
- Use the corner of a square craft box lid to make a little house.
- Cut the lid in half to make a triangle, measure 2.5cm down from the top point of the triangle on both sides then cut into the box. Cut the front of the box into a house shape, making the sides 1.5cm from the base of the roof and 3.5cm across the bottom.
- Cut pieces of leftover card to fit on the sides of the house, then glue in place. Cut a corner section from the leftover box to make an overhanging roof with the sides 3cm in length.
- Use a small piece of thick card or print a door and windows onto the front of the house, or paint with a brush. Leave to dry. Glue a thin layer of cotton wool onto the roof.
- Glue the lid onto a folded card with a printed snowy background scene, then glue the house inside the painted lid. Glue a small piece of cotton wool around the base of the house. Christmas Tree Window:
- For the window frame, cut a piece of coloured card, making it 1-2mm bigger than the box lid on all sides. Carefully cut out the middle with a craft knife leaving a 4mm border. Cut 2 card strips for the middle of the window then stick in a cross with ends glued to the frame. Add 2 strips of patterned paper for curtains. Leave to dry.
- Cut a card strip for a windowsill, extending out 5-6mm from the edge of the frame. Glue the windowsill to the base of the frame then glue the whole frame onto a folded background card. Lightly brush glue over the edge of the windowsill and the top of the window then press down a thin layer of cotton wool.
