Last Meeting's Activity -  Making Reproduction        
                                       Victorian Christmas Boxes

A Victorian Santa crafted from
 a matchbox (from the dollar store),
 fabric scraps,
German diecut scraps,
glue, batting,
& a little imagination!

---

 Side view showing hood. which is made separately, then slid over cat head, glued  & trimmed with batting.

---

Cat head is first glued to a thick cardboard with a long tab at the bottom that is glued to the front outside of the matchbox. Flannel is then glued around four sides of the matchbox, leaving the top & bottom uncovered so the inner box can slide. 

---

  Arms are flannel/felt wrapped cardboard with German scrap "paws" that are glued to the body under the batting tim.

---

  Inner box can be papered after punching holes & drawing ribbon through. Ribbon pull can be decorated with odd beads, stitching or glitter. To reinforce the pull-end, glue a piece of cardboard before punching 
the holes.
The box is roomy enough for candies, small jewelry, or a gift card, as pictured.

---

Remember - it's all about having fun  -  make it as glitzy or whimsical as you like.  And do hang it on your tree or give it as a gift.
