Print out the pages on regular paper or cardstock.

Use a craft knife to cut the dashed lines of each "window."

Spread glue along the gray border on page two. Alternatively, you can use double-sided tape. Place page one on top and press down. If using glue, make sure the pages are lined up before the glue dries.

After the glue has dried, cut the white border off the calendar.

Instructions (Short Round Lantern): Print the template on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces.

Fold all tabs C and B along the dashed lines.

Starting from left to right, glue all tabs A to the back of their corresponding sides. Close off the shape of the lantern by gluing the final three A tabs.

Glue all tabs B to the back of their corresponding sides. Glue all tabs C to the back of their corresponding sides.

Use a small hole punch to make two holes at the top where indicated by a dark circle and tie string to each hole. You can hang a single lantern, or tie many of them to a long string for a dangling string of lanterns.

Instructions (Tall Thin Lantern): Print the template on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces.

Make all folds along the dashed white lines away from you.

Glue all tabs A to the back of their corresponding sides. Glue the last two tabs A to the back of their corresponding sides to close off the shape.

To attach the lantern top, fold along all dashed lines away from you. Glue the end tab to the back of the corresponding side to complete the loop. Now glue the top 6 tabs to the inside of the top of the lantern.

Use a small hole punch to make two holes at the top where indicated by a dark circle and tie string to each hole. You can hang a single lantern, or tie many of them to a long string for a dangling string of lanterns.

Print the template on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces. Make all folds along dashed lines.

Using either glue or double-sided tape, close Minnie's body by securing the tabs around her torso to their corresponding pieces.

Close the bottom of the candy box by securing the B tabs, followed by the C tab.

Fold each of Minnie's arms in half along the dashed line so the design is two-sided. Without sticking the tabs together, secure the two sides.

Butterfly the tabs on Minnie's arms and secure them to the sides of her body.

Fold the top dashed lines across Minnie's skirt toward you and fold the lower dashed lines away from you -- this will help her sit in place.

Print the snowflakes on regular paper or cardstock and cut them out.

If you want your snowflakes to be double-sided, cut out the front and back of each snowflake and secure the two halves with glue or double-sided tape.

For a more detailed snowflake, use a craft knife to cut out the white shapes along the perimeter of the snowflake. Trace the edge of the snowflake with glue and sprinkle glitter over the glue before it dries.

When the glue is dry, thread a long string or ribbon through the top hole and hang the ornament somewhere special.

Though paper will do, for a sturdier project print the treasure chest and gold doubloons on cardstock.

Cut out all the parts, including the center of the chest lid, the four slits along the four tabs (where indicated) and along the light yellow lines on either side of the lock. Do not cut off the lock completely; be sure to stop at the end of the light yellow lines.

Starting with the chest, glue all four tabs to the inside of the adjacent sides.

To create the lid, make all folds along the solid lines away from you to crease all the lines. Now go back and fold the third line down from the top of each lid side toward you (where indicated).

Glue all tabs labeled A to the back of the adjacent side of the lid.

Glue all tabs labeled B to the back of the adjacent side of the lid. Glue all tabs labeled C to the back of the adjacent side of the lid.

Repeat step 5 with all tabs labeled D and E. Fold the end tab F under the opposite side of the chest and glue it in place.

To fit the lid on top of the chest, fold tab G under and glue the backside of it to the inside of the chest. Fold the lock so it hangs down in front of the chest.

Cut out the gold doubloons. Fold them along the center line and glue the backs together.

Print Wayne on regular paper or cardstock and cut out all of the pieces. Do not cut along the dashed lines -- this is where you will fold the paper.

With the design facing you, make all of the vertical folds in Wayne's pants away from you. Close the pants by gluing the A tab to the inside of the design.

Fold the bottom of Wayne's pants outward, his feet down, and his tail up.

Fold the top of the pants like a box and tuck the tab inside.

Fold and glue the front and back of Wayne's head so the design is two-sided. Make sure the pieces are lined up evenly before the glue dries. Insert the neck into the top of the pants where you folded the top closed.

Fold each arm in half and secure so the design is two-sided. Do not get glue on the tabs at the ends of the arms. Fold those outward so you can use them as a base to attach the arms to Wayne's pants. Glue the arms to Wayne and your elf is finished!

Cut out the main piece of the basket.

Follow the fold indicators and graphics shown here and begin making your folds.

Your basket should be starting to take shape. Glue "A" to "A" and so on until all four corners are secured.

Fold over the white lip on the two sides of the basket. Cut out the handle and the characters. Glue the handle to the indicated sides of the basket. Cut out the character eggs from page one and glue them wherever you want to decorate your basket. Fill the basket with Easter goodies and enjoy!

Roll a piece of craft foam into the shape of a cone. Use hot glue gun to tack in place.

Trim the top of the teepee on a slant.

Break or cut twigs into 3” long pieces. Insert three twig pieces into the top of the teepee, glue in place.

Decorate the outside of your teepees with fun Native American-inspired designs such as bear claws, eagles, stripes and geometric shapes.

Cut a piece of yarn to 14” in length.

Cut patriotic garland into six 16” pieces.

Glue two paper plates together so that they are both facing toward each other.

While glue on plates is still wet, place yarn into the top between the two plates, insert about an inch of each end between the plates. Do the same with the garland lengths, securing them between the bottom of the paper plates. Let dry completely.

Paint star-shaped foam stamp with a thin layer of red paint. Press carefully but firmly into the center of the plate (don’t smash the plate) and lift straight up to remove.

Use a paintbrush to fill in any spots on the star that may not have transferred from the stamp.

Squeeze some red glitter glue onto the center of the red star and spread out using a small paintbrush, covering entire star.

Use white glitter glue to draw a border around the star.

Use blue glitter glue to draw a border around the plate edge. Let dry completely.

Apply alphabet stickers to the top of the plate, spelling out “WELCOME”.

Wrap the garland around your fingers in a corkscrew fashion to create curls. Stretch them out and manipulate with your hands to get them how you want them.

Hang on your door!
