Glue 3 craft sticks side by side to form the fireplace base, then add two vertical sticks at each end for the sides. Place one horizontally across the top to complete the mantle.
Paint your fireplace in festive colors such as blue, green, or red and let it dry for about 10 minutes.
Glue a rectangle of black paper in the center as the firebox. Cut small felt flames and layer them in yellow, orange, and red before gluing them onto the black paper.
Decorate the mantle with a mini wreath and a tiny felt stocking. Then add a small bow or mini present cutout for detail.
Cut out your child’s photo and glue it sitting beside the fire. For extra charm, top them with a small Santa hat.
Glue a loop of baker’s twine at the back for hanging. Once dry, hang it on your tree, it’s like your child is cozying up by a Christmas hearth.
