When our family moved into this new house of ours, we were pleased to have more space, but one thing we didn't have anymore was a fireplace. With Christmas coming, the children were very concerned about their not being a fireplace for hanging the stockings onto or for Santa to magically appear through.
He rolled the sides of the cardboard to give it edging and to help it stand upright.
He cut the A4 paper in half and glued it on as "bricks" for the fireplace. He used the yellow and orange tissue paper to create the flames of the "fire."
He even created some logs for the fire by rolling up some shorter pieces of cardboard.
He rolled and then flattened the roll of some cardboard to make the mantle above the fireplace.
He says it would have been even better if he had painted it and added a vine-styled garland across the top of it, but I think it turned out pretty great as it is!
