MAKE Winter Wonderland Gift Boxes
It’s the time of the year to transform our surroundings and to add the magic of the season. These Winter Wonderland Gift Boxes can be made to create an advent calendar, personalise gift giving or would make a fun project for kids.
The Winter Wonderland Advent Calendar that I shared earlier is such a popular project that I wanted to expand it. There are so many places an imagination can go by starting with one simple template and, in fact, I think these two projects would combine harmoniously.
This year I’ve made pairs of each of these: a winter hat, deer, snowmen, cardinals, ptarmigan, igloos, and swans and would love to see what do with the tutorial. I’m hoping to get a table full of young makers to see where these take them and if you do I’d love to see what you do.
Make an Advent Calendar, Gift Boxes, a Holiday project or just for fun!
