Christmas mailbox

Anleitung No. 2656
Anleitung No. 2656     Difficulty: Advanced  Working time: 5 Hours

New mail from Father Christmas has arrived! This letter box can not only be decorative, but is also nice to use, for example to send a little letter to your loved ones every day, to give and read the Christmas story to the children day by day or to send a gift from the Advent calendar every day. There are many beautiful ways to use it.

Briefkasten post

How to make the letterbox:

Transfer the templates to the cardboard and cut them out. Template D is doubled so that the body is 50 cm long. Go over the fold lines with the folding knife and fold.

First design the front of the letterbox. Use a scalpel to cut out the letter slot and the small window. So that the window also has a pane, stick pinwheel foil behind it. Now cut out the round sticks and paint them grey. Glue them on with craft glue or a little hot glue. Letter "Santa Mail" on white cardboard and glue it on. Tie a bow from the satin ribbon and glue it on together with bells.

Next, assemble the letterbox. First glue the base and the back wall. Now glue the body to the base and back wall.

Now it gets a bit more complicated, the front is glued on. It is best to glue the bottom edge to the bottom first, then the left side, the arch and finally the right side. The opening on the back wall serves to ensure that the folded edges fit exactly and can be pressed on.
Now stick on the tape and saw the round sticks to fit the sides, paint them and stick them on. Next, saw the legs to any length (here 5 cm), paint them and fix them with hot glue.

Finally, make small letters and decorate them. To make them visible in the letterbox and to make it look more Christmassy, a string of lights is placed between the letters.

The scalpel is excellently suited for very filigree handicraft work. It cuts extremely precisely and a variety of materials, such as Paper, cardboard, fabric, leather, foil, rubber, wallpaper, linoleum, etc. The handicraft scalpel has a very sharp blade with which you can easily cut out difficult motifs and tiny ornaments. With it you can even get into the smallest corner! Since you can cut very clean edges with the scalpel, it is ideal for crafting window pictures, for example. The scalpel is very handy due to the serrated grip surface and the non-slip plastic grip zone in the front area. The Cutter is supplied with 5 spare scalpel blades and a protective cap.

Tip: When working with the handicraft scalpel, use a robust cutting mat to prevent accidental damage to the work surface.
