Trace the Box Pieces

Draw the base, lid, and side panels of the wish box onto cardboard using the template shown in the image.

Cut and Assemble the Box

Cut out all the cardboard pieces and stick them together using Fevicol MR to make the base and hinged lid. Allow the box to dry.

Cover the Box

Apply Fevicol MR and neatly cover the outside of the box with blue chart paper. Trim away any excess paper.

Prepare the Clay

Mix the resin and hardener of Fevicryl Mouldit thoroughly until the clay becomes smooth and ready for modelling.

Make the Christmas Ornaments

Shape the Fevicryl Mouldit into a bell, star, candy cane, Santa hat, Christmas tree, stocking, and gingerbread man. Allow them to dry completely.

Paint the Ornaments

Paint the dried ornaments using colours from the Fevicryl Carnival Pack and leave them to dry thoroughly.

Decorate the Wish Box

Stick the painted ornaments onto the lid using Fevicol MR. Let everything dry well. Your Christmas Wish Box is now ready to fill with festive wishes and tiny treasures.
