Building a Fireplace for Santa

Building a Fireplace for Santa

🎅🏼🔥💫 We made a fireplace for Santa using a big box and a little box. Here’s how we did it…

You will need:

1 large box

1 small box

Aluminium foil

Masking tape and strong parcel tape

Brown and black paint

Coloured paper to make the fire

*optional snow blanket

Draw around the shape of the smaller box onto the big box and cut out a hole to slot it in. Cut off three of the flaps from the smaller box and use the last flap to cut out the shape of a fire grate.

Finish by covering the grate with foil, adding paper flames and a snow blanket under a cardboard mantle, if desired.
Additional pieces of card can be added for effect by cutting out strips and sticking them on with double-sided sticky tape.
