Grab the green ribbon and wrap it around the wire wreath. You'll also want to carefully hot glue it into place.
Attach the floral wire to the garland and secure it into place.
Once that is done, you'll then take the red ribbon and wrap it as well and hot glue that into place. Set the wreath to the side.
Grab the empty cereal box and cut off the flaps on the top.
Stuff it full of empty grocery bags. Take an Exacto knife (or something with a straight edge) and draw small rectangles that are 3X2 inches in size. Stagger them.
Add hot glue to each brick, about 1/8 inch away from the lines that were drawn.
Let the hot glue cool down and then use a bamboo skewer to swirl the glue a bit to add texture.
Do this with all the sizes of the box. Let the swirled glue dry.
Paint the box with red paint and let the paint dry.
Grab a paper towel to dab on some dark brown paint and then some light brown paint. Let it dry.
Put a thin line of white paint in between the bricks then wipe it a bit to make it look worn. Let it dry.
Take scissors and cut off the bells on the elf boots. Grab your Exacto knife and cut along the backside of the fur. Cut only the fabric and leave the fur to be wide enough to easily wrap it around the legs of the elf.
Hot glue the fur.
Cut a 2-inch strip of white fabric and wrap it around the top of the cereal box. Hot glue it on top and leave most of the fabric showing so that it looks like snow.
Stuff any extra empty grocery bags into the cereal box.
Stick the legs into the chimney and poke two holes about an inch apart on the back side of the chimney. You can use scissors to do this.
Thread some floral wire through the holes and attach them firmly so that it holds the chimney in place. You can add some hot glue if necessary.
Hot glue the twirly picks onto the back of the chimney.
