Push other flaps into box. Tape bottom closed. If using cardboard sheets for Santa, glue into 2 layers with dots of glue throughout. Draw 4&amp;quot; grid on cardboard or plywood.   Enlarge Santa pattern, found on page two (click here for instructions to enlarge patterns). Cut cardboard with craft knife; saw wood with saber saw. Cut shape from batting. Cut 3&amp;quot; larger all around from fabric.   Glue batting lightly to front of Santa. Stretch fabric over batting and glue excess to back, clipping slits into edges so fabric lies flat. Transfer inner shapes.   Paint Santa, leaving white fabric for white areas. Paint box brown inside and out. When dry, with lid open, glue ribbon taut from inside box near front to lid sides, to hold lid up. Paint green squares and yellow &amp;quot;Merry Christmas&amp;quot; on box as shown.   Cut 9&amp;quot; x 18&amp;quot; doubled cardboard or plywood. Glue or screw upper 9&amp;quot; to lower back of Santa to add height.
