Nativity Surprise Gift Box Printable

What's Included

• 2 PDF files: A4 and US Letter (Nativity_Surprise_Gift_Box_A4.pdf and Nativity_Surprise_Gift_Box_US_Letter.pdf)
• Each is a 4-page PDF: an illustrated how-to page plus three full-colour template sheets (300 dpi)
• Gift box with red star wrapping paper and a green ribbon printed on the outside (the bottom is printed too, so no plain white shows)
• Lid with glue tabs, a standing gold bow and a To / From gift tag
• 5 separate scene cards to glue inside: shepherds with their sheep, the three wise men, Bethlehem under the star, a "Jesus is God's Greatest Gift" card and a straw floor with glue marks
• Stable backdrop with a fold-back stand, Mary and Joseph as 3D paper cone figures, and baby Jesus in the manger
• Print-ready CMYK colour (FOGRA39), so your prints look like the photos

How It Works

1. PRINT: print at actual size (100 %) on 200-250 gsm white cardstock (65-110 lb).
2. CUT: cut out the box, the lid, the cards and the figures along the solid lines.
3. FOLD: crease the dashed lines with a ruler and a blunt pen.
4. GLUE: glue the scene cards inside the walls and onto the floor, roll Mary and Joseph into cones and stand the stable, figures and manger on the floor marks.
5. CLOSE AND OPEN: fold the walls up, put the lid on and give it as a gift. Lift the lid and the box opens in four directions.

Finished Size

About 7.5 cm (3 in) square gift box. The walls are not glued together, so the box opens flat again and again.

You Need

Colour printer, white cardstock, scissors, glue stick, ruler and a blunt pen for creasing.

Ages

Kids 6+ with an adult helping with the small cuts. About 40-50 minutes, easy to medium.

Great For

Sunday school and church class, homeschool Bible lesson, Advent calendar surprise, Christmas party craft, a small handmade gift for family or teachers, the Christmas story at home.
