Using a paper cutter, cut the box in two. Cut out the bottom of the box as shown in the photo. This will be the back of the drawer.

The top of the box will be the front of the drawer. Cut a slot in it for letters and cut off the excess parts so that it fits well with the back.

Glue the two parts together with wide tape.

Place the front of the box on the blue cardstock, trace, cut out, fold the cardboard and then glue to the box. Cover the entire box in this manner.

Cut the glitter cardstock into strips. Fold the strips in half. In order for the strips to fold beautifully in half, you need to place a ruler at the fold and draw something sharp along the fold.

Cover all edges of the box with glitter stripes.

Cover the letter slot with white cardboard cut into semicircles in the shape of snowdrifts.

According to the template, cut out all the details of the portrait of Santa Claus. Glue all the parts onto black cardboard and cut everything out together, leaving a small margin. Using a black pen, draw eyes and mustaches. Glue a portrait of Santa Claus to the front of the box.

According to the template, cut out all the details of the bullfinch. Glue all the parts onto black cardboard and cut everything out together, leaving a small margin. Using a black pen, draw an eye, legs and an envelope. Glue the bullfinch onto the lid of the box.

Using something sharp, make a hole in the back of the box, thread a string and tie it. You can use this rope to hang a mailbox.

Despite his venerable age, Santa Claus is a mobile character and actively travels. When he is in Moscow, he stays at his estate in Kuzminki. Messages from all over Russia fly here, children and adults congratulate grandfather on the holidays, share their dreams and desires. The letter can be written either in the estate itself or in a special form online.

Thanks to Santa Claus's magical mail, everyone will be able to send a letter with their deepest desires directly to Veliky Ustyug - the winter residence of the country's main wizard. The magic post office operates at the Moscow Zoo from December 1, 2018 to January 14, 2019. A special box for sending letters can be found at the entrance to the Klyuev House on the old territory of the zoo. The exhibition hall of the Klyuev House itself will be transformed into a cozy living room of Father Frost, where visitors will write letters.

Santa Claus does not shy away from new technologies and has an electronic mailbox where you can write from anywhere in the world. To do this, you need very little: a cherished desire, faith in miracles and a personal account on the website pochta-dm.ru. Try it, and Santa Claus will certainly answer you!

Until December 11, you can put letters in holiday mailboxes in eight city parks. The period for receiving correspondence is limited due to the fact that the wizard needs to have time to read the messages before the New Year. Special boxes appeared in the Hermitage Garden, in Kuzminki, in the Bauman Garden, in Krasnaya Presnya Park, as well as in Izmailovsky, Tagansky, Lianozovsky and Babushkinsky parks. From here the letters will be taken to the residence of Father Frost in Veliky Ustyug. Blue and white boxes are easy to find in places where visitors most often visit - on central alleys and near entrances. Be sure to write your name, return address, and zip code on the envelopes if you would like a response.

Make your child happy on New Year's Eve - send a letter to Santa Claus right from home! Make your own Christmas mailbox and decorate it with your kids. Print out the letter template. Let the child write to Santa Claus what he wants to receive as a gift and congratulate him on the upcoming New Year.

It’s not at all difficult to make “New Year’s mail” with your own hands. We have prepared master classes for you in which you will find three different options. In each of them you will definitely need festive elegant decor - prepare it in advance with your child. Watch three video lessons, choose your favorite mailbox and get down to business!

From a big box

One of the simplest options is to make a New Year's box from a large cardboard box. Packaging from a doll, a car or some kind of game will do. Additionally, you will need cardboard, beautiful paper, New Year cards or pictures from books.

Watch this step-by-step video master class, which describes in detail how to properly make a box for letters to Santa Claus with your own hands.

As you can see, even a young master can easily cope with this task. If your child is very small, then make the slots yourself. And you will also have to cover the box. But children can decorate it with snowflakes (take stencils) or other pictures on their own.

By the way, instead of the game box, you can easily use a regular cardboard box. Just cover it with wrapping paper on all sides. The best way to do this is to use double-sided tape. Then add decorative paper of a different color and decorations in the form of snowflakes or stars to the front side.

Place a New Year's card on the front wall of your mailbox. Make a slot to drop the letter.

All that remains is to further decorate the craft with any New Year's sparkles, serpentine, tinsel or anything else.

From felt

Make a toy mailbox for Santa Claus so that your child can leave it for a long time. The holidays will pass - interesting entertainment will remain!

With this video you can make a New Year's letter box from felt. The step-by-step instructions are simple, but a child will not be able to cope with it, so you need to master this master class.

The author uses doublerin in his work. It can be found in the creative departments. What is dublerin? To put it simply – adhesive lining material. It is necessary for sealing structures. If you don’t want to look for it, you can safely make a box for New Year’s mail by replacing the material with cardboard covered with fabric or something else.

From paper

Don’t rush to throw away large cardboard boxes of equipment or parcels. They can also be easily turned into a box for letters to Santa Claus.

Watch this simple video master class that clearly shows how to make such a New Year's craft.

Use various cutouts, stickers, colored markers, bright stationery tape, beautiful patterned stamps and whatever else you want to decorate.

If you need unusual letter stencils for the word “mail”, you can take them from our selection. Select the ones you need, drag one piece at a time into the graphic editor, set the desired size and print. Additionally, the box can be decorated with a Santa Claus hat.

Letter templates

You will need to put a letter in the box. Give your child a little more joy - let it be very beautiful!

Here are some letter templates to Santa Claus for your child. Just print them out (not necessarily in color), fill them out and drop them into the toy box. You can add an envelope (make it yourself or take a ready-made one).

If you don’t like any sample letter to Santa Claus, make a template yourself. To do this, you can use stencils (look at the corresponding section on our website). In a graphics editor, arrange the pictures in the order you like. Take pictures with Grandfather Frost, a snowman, the Snow Maiden, an image of a Christmas tree - whatever. In the same way, you can write a letter from Santa Claus for your child.

Let the process of writing a letter to Santa Claus turn into an exciting game that your child will remember for a long time. Don't throw away this box - you will need it more than once. By the way, you can very well carefully trim the side or bottom edge, disassemble the structure and put a gift there. Carefully seal the hole, and on New Year's Day show your child that Santa Claus brought him something.

December has arrived. For a little while longer, you and I will be celebrating a good, magical holiday, beloved by both adults and children - the New Year. As you know, on New Year's Eve, the kind Grandfather Frost brings each child a gift. But for Grandfather to know what kind of gift the baby wants, he needs to write a letter and send it by mail.

Muscovites and guests of the capital can send letters to Santa Claus using mailboxes installed in eight Moscow parks.

New Year's letters can be sent in Kuzminki parks, the Hermitage garden, the Bauman garden, in Izmailovsky, Lianozovsky, Tagansky, Babushkinsky parks and Krasnaya Presnya park, according to the official website of the Moscow mayor.

“On the eve of the New Year, Moscow parks launched a promotion for children and adults. Everyone will be able to write to Santa Claus about their dreams and desires by placing a letter in one of the blue and white boxes measuring 40 by 25 centimeters. They can be recognized by the inscription “Santa Claus Mail”. They are located in places where visitors most often visit - on central alleys or near entrances. Park employees will pick up mail and make sure that the boxes do not overflow,” Moscow City Park said.

It is recommended to use a regular postal envelope for letters and write on it to whom the letter is addressed - “Grandfather Frost”. You must also provide your name, address and zip code. The process of handing over the letters will be filmed, and the recordings will then be published on the Mosgorpark page on social networks. The letters will be sent to the residence of Father Frost in Veliky Ustyug.

The New Year is approaching, children and adults are looking forward to festive festivities, ice skating and sledding, bright lights on the Christmas trees and long-awaited gifts from Santa Claus. However, the New Year holidays are approaching both in kindergarten and at school, for which parents and children are asked to make any interesting crafts.

We suggest creating with your children a necessary and useful craft with your own hands - Santa Claus's mailbox.
For this master class we will need materials:

– a shoe box (its size depends only on your desire).
– decorative film (can be replaced with colored paper).
– black and gold cardboard.
- scissors.
- stationery knife.
- glue.
- pencil and ruler.

Step-by-step master class.
First of all, let’s clear the table of unnecessary items and get started.
1. On the lid of the shoe box, draw a slot for letters. Let me remind you that the smallest envelope is 11 cm by 22 cm. If you plan to use Santa Claus's box for its intended purpose, you need to take this into account. If the slot has a purely decorative function, its size does not matter.
2. Using a stationery knife, make a cut along the drawn lines.

3. Mark out the required area of decorative film for the bottom of the box. Remove the paper from the film and carefully glue the box. The advantage of the film is that if something doesn’t work out, it can be removed and re-glued. Be sure to squeeze out all the bubbles with your hand, otherwise it will be ugly.

4. We perform the same actions with the top cover. Carefully covering it with red film. It should be noted that instead of decorative film, of course, you can use red paper. We'll cover the whole box with it.
5. Make a slit with a stationery knife and bend the edges.

6. We make a belt for Santa Claus or Santa Claus - whatever you like. Take black cardboard and cut out a strip. We calculate the length of the strip so that it bends inside the top cover. The width of the strip is at your discretion. In this case we used velvet paper. It has its pros and cons. It always looks great, but the edges and corners tend to fray over time. Only your preferences matter here.

7. Make a plaque. On the back of the cardboard, use a ruler and pencil to mark how the plaque will look. See photo.

8. Cut out the plaque from gold cardboard using scissors or a stationery knife, whichever is more convenient for you.

9. We thread a black cardboard belt through the gold plaque and secure it with glue, as shown in the photo. We glue only on the inside of the top lid of the box.

10. Putting it all together. Decorate with a cap.

Now our craft is ready. The holiday mailbox for Santa Claus, created by yourself, is ready. This New Year's craft can be taken to kindergarten or school. She will definitely delight both children and adults, because she resembles Father Frost himself in a red fur coat with a black belt.
