Measure the Base Circle

Use a pencil and scale to measure and draw a circular base on thick red colored paper. This circle will form the main bottom support layout for your holiday letterbox.

Snip the Folding Tabs

Cut the red paper circle with scissors. Snipping small, foldable tabs around the circular curved edge will help you easily stick to the main walls of the letterbox later.

Build the Box Cylinder

Take a large rectangular red cutout to create the curved body of the box. Roll it neatly and stick its edges to the circular base tabs securely using Fevicol MR.

Create the Removable Lid

Measure, cut, and assemble a matching round lid from the thick red paper. This lid will fit perfectly over your cylindrical structure to close and open the letterbox.

Craft the Festive Details

Paint a dog, a Christmas tree, and mini envelopes with Rangeela Tempera Colours. Add tiny red thumbprint seals to the envelopes before gluing everything down onto the red box base.

Add the Final Greeting

Label a small white paper strip with a message using a marker. Stick it on the front alongside your elements and paint some white colour some snow effect on the edges to complete this letterbox!
