Instructions
Print the printables set at 100% scale.
Use your scissors to cut out all of the prop template pieces and the apron pattern. Be sure to keep the folding and gluing guides handy - set them to the side for reference. Note: the red dashed lines on the guides denote folding/scoring lines. Glue will be applied to the tabs that have been filled in solid grey on the guides.
Follow the folding guide to determine where lines need to be scored and folded. To get a consistent fold, use a ruler to help with the folding and a second straight-edged tool to help lift the paper from the surface.
Hot glue the paper templates starting with the elf-sized donut box. Follow the guide to determine which tabs need to be attached. Glue tabs are indicated by a filled-in grey color in the templates.
Build the donut shop window, and then attach the awning to the donut shop.
Attach the individual donut box Part 1 to Part 2 (the long wall) by aligning the diagonal tabs up to the back of the Part 1 (hexagon shape).
Add dollhouse-sized faux donuts to the elf-sized donut box.
Trace the apron pattern onto the felt using a pencil, pen, or chalk. Then glue 1/8″ ribbon pieces to the felt to create the neck and waist ties. Cut out the Dasher Donuts logo on the pattern, and attach it to the font of the apron using hot glue.
