Norwegian Mail-Boxes with Templates

Do you remember this?



Last year before Christmas, I made a Norwegian Mail-Box as my DT-project for Unik Hobby in December.

I recived quite a few e-mails from people asking me for a template/tutorial, but unfortunately I didn't have time to make one for you then...

But now I did, so here's the template for you :)
You may see the whole post I did of this Mail-Box last December here!

Today I'm holding a class at Unik Hobby, in colouring with Prismacolor Premier Pencils, and at the end of the class, we're going to make a small Mail-Box for Christmas-Tags!

I made the template for the mail-boxes myself, and each mail-box measures 4 x 6 cm.

The mail-box wall is made of a whole 12" x 12" cardboard, and the ridge of a half.

The "roof" is made of two stripes of cardstock measures 3 cm wide, folded in the middle,

after punching the one side.

Happy 1th December everyone!
