Information
      Upcycle the giant pile of delivery boxes you get before Christmas into an expandable village and let your kids go wild decorating.  This project includes the files for a cottage, two story home, church and steeple, and extras (trees, candy canes, gum drops, etc.) to decorate the village.
    
Instruction
1
Step1: Cut down cardboard boxes

Breakdown boxes into flat squares.  As designed, the largest piece necessary should be approximately 15"x15".  If desired vector designs from the files can be scaled and copied into a single file, so the necessary size of the cardboard may vary.

Step2: Cut the Village Structures

Open the xTool Creative Studio files and cut the structures.

Step3: Assemble the Structures with Hot Glue

Assemble the pieces of the structures.  Tabs added for connections can be folded back on themselves and glued to provide more surface for connections if needed, otherwise the cuts can be modified to remove the tabs.

Step4: Decorate

Paint, color, and otherwise decorate as desired.  This is the fun part for young kids.
