Boxes with Distracting Text
If the text on the outside of the box is too distracting, turn the box inside out. Simply pull the sides apart at a seam and then hot glue or tape them back together after reversing. Boxes may also come with flaps. If yours does, have these at the bottom by turning the box upside down. They help keep the box square. Cutting them down makes it easier to work with.
Directing Helpful Kid Energy
As we know, kids want to help or do things on their own, so to avoid problems, give them a job like cutting out the different fairy tale cottage elements from the various sheets while you're doing the major construction work.
Boxes with No Lids
If the box lid is missing or damaged beyond repair, you can make a new one. Instructions for a deluxe gable roofline are also available.
Why to Use Tempra Paint
Tempra paints dry very quickly so you should be able to apply sheets almost immediately after painting.
Making Straight Door Jambs
Use a straight edge to draw your lines first before cutting.
Using Grass to Maximum Effect
By wrapping one grass strip around a corner of the box, the complete effect may be attained (one continuous line of grass on two sides).
