Cut off part of the top and assemble the top and sides with two pieces of sellotape, making an edge. The background is glued onto the actual bottom of the box which is turned the other way round, so that it now stands upright to form the background. Place a piece of tinfoil inside the box and sprinkle with artificial snow to cover the base.

Cut out two clouds using the template (which is available as a separate PDF file for this idea). Copy the templates onto a piece of white card and glue together with three pieces of thread sandwiched between the two.

Glue sequins in pairs around the threads.

Fold the cloud making an edge by the dotted line and glue the cloud onto the box.

Wrap a polystyrene semi circle in tinfoil and cover the rounded area completely with Foam Clay, making an iglo. Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Remove the iglo from the polystyrene semi circle after 24 hours.

Cut a rounded opening in the iglo using a pair of scissors.

Make the entrance for the iglo with Foam Clay. The iglo is now finished.

Remove the tinfoil from the polystyrene semi circle. Apply glue and sprinkle with artificial snow, making a ski slope.

Make a Christmas tree by cutting out the template and folding the circles along the dotted lines. Cut a small hole in the middle of the circles (except the smallest circle).

Insert the stick in the stand and press a small blob of Foam Clay around the stick at a suitable distance from the base. Place the largest folded circle over the stick and let it rest on the Foam Clay blob. Continue like this with the circles in size order and press small blobs of Foam Clay to separate each circle. Attach a small piece of Foam Clay onto the end of the stick and attach the smallest folded circle on top.

Apply a thin layer of glue on the edges of the circles and sprinkle artificial snow on the wet glue.

Cover two round polystyrene balls with white Foam Clay.

Place the balls on top of eachother.

Make a nose from orange Silk Clay and attach. Press Silk Clay eyes and buttons onto the figure.

Model a small pixie hat from Foam Clay and press onto the top of the head. Make a scarf from pipe cleaners (see steps 26-27) and wrap it around the neck.

Cover the polystyrene bodies with Foam Clay. See the next steps for the distribution.

Make the reindeer's antlers from pipe cleaners which are bent and then pushed into the figure.

Make scarfs by twisting two pipe cleaners around eachother.

Place around the figure's neck and trim excess pipe cleaners.Make skis from ice lolly sticks and place underneath the figure. Make ski poles from matches. Place one in each hand.
