Cut and Make Wini Tapp Circus

Build your own miniature circus theater with this charmingly low-stakes craft project. The characters arrive pre-printed in bold black, which means even if your scissors skills rival mine—which is to say, questionable—everything still looks intentionally artistic. Roughly shoebox-sized, it perches nicely on a shelf and transforms into surprisingly decent bedroom décor once assembled. The thick cardstock refuses to collapse under the weight of your ambitions, and the whole endeavor is genuinely fun in that way craft projects promise but rarely deliver. Part of the wini-tapp circus collection, this little theater practically begs to be made and displayed with the kind of pride usually reserved for actual accomplishments.
