Haunted House Gift Box - Boxed Wood Kit

BOXED KIT - the pieces arrive already laser-cut, bagged and labeled. You put it together. Made in small bench batches.

A 5 inch wooden gift box with a little village scene inside. Pull the bow straight up and the whole scene lifts out in one piece - the lid is its roof, held up by a backdrop and two striped posts - and it stands on the table like a covered stage. Inside: a little haunted house with an orange-and-black awning over the window (jack-o'-lanterns, a black cat and a candle), a HAUNTED HOUSE sign, a black shingle roof and brick chimney, and a yard with a bench, a street lamp, a bare spooky tree, two RIP tombstones and a pumpkin pile, under a moonlit backdrop with bats. Set a battery tea light under the hole in the base and the windows glow. Slide it back into the box and it is a gift box again, with a ribbon, sparkles and a gift tag scored on the outside.

What's in the box

• 40 laser-cut 2.7 mm plywood pieces in 1 labeled bag
• Fold-and-staple instruction booklet with 7 illustrated assembly steps, Apple Barrel paint colors and an actual-size parts finder: lay a piece on its outline to find its name

Finished size

• Box: 5 in (127 mm) cube, about 6.6 in tall with the bow
• Scene: about 1:48 village scale

You'll need

• Wood glue - the backdrop, posts, lid and bow must be glued (the scene hangs from them when you lift it); a drop in the other joints makes it permanent
• Fine sandpaper for the tiny tab nubs
• Optional: acrylic paints and a battery tea light (not included)
