Wow! You really did a fantastic job with these! I got some vintage ones for Christmas that are in need of a makeover, I hope I can do this good of a job with them!

thank you very much! (beaming!) I'm surprised at how sturdy they are--I just used tacky glue and my faith in it is restored. I learned it is actually easier to paint them after they've been assembled then just cover up any mistakes with lots of fake snow and glitter! It's been hard for me to keep it looking "traditional" and not to go in and glue on a bunch of miniature elves and deer so I might just make one for myself that is covered in them and drenched in miniature Christmas lights and whatever else I find on clearance tomorrow!

Very impressive! Could you post the title and author, or ISBN, of the book you're using for your templates?

Is this from a magazine project?
