DLTK's Kwanzaa Crafts for Kids:
Easy
Kwanzaa Kleenex Box Cover
Materials:
|
|
Instructions:
- Print out the templates of choice (you can use all the same template
so you have the same picture on all sides, or you can mix and match!)
-- you need 4 templates to make one kleenex box.
- Colour pieces, as necessary.
- Glue the pieces onto squares of thin cardboard (old cereal boxes).
Using a glue stick instead of white glue keeps the paper from wrinkling.
If you are using white glue, put the glue onto the cardboard, not the
template and then spread it around so it's a very thin layer.
- Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult
assistance.
- OPTIONAL: cover with clear contact paper (this
makes it water proof). Contact paper can be purchased
in rolls at your local office supply store.
- Optional: Score the tabs -- to do this, flip the
template over so the cardboard is up. Put a ruler
down to help you keep a straight line. Using scissors
or a butter knife, run along the ruler pressing hard to
make it easier to fold the edges. This step may require
adult assistance.
- Fold the tabs
- Use glue or tape to attach the tabs of one template
to the untabbed side of the next to form a box.
- Slip it overtop a square kleenex box! (it squashes
flat for easy storage so you can pull it out next Kwanzaa)

- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template
on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
