DLTK's Kwanzaa Crafts for Kids:
Easy Kwanzaa Kleenex Box Cover

Materials:

Instructions:

  • 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)

This is a photo of  the 
thanksgiving box, but 
it ends up looking the 
same when it's completed 
(just with different images).
