Instructions:

Take-out Box and Chopsticks

1. Print the Chinese Take-out Template on the matte side of the cardstock paper. Use your scissors or

X-Acto to cut out the boxes. Use the X-Acto knife to cut the slit in the top of the box.

2. Fold all the side sections of the Chinese take-out containers up and inward. See illustration 1. Glue the

side flaps “A” to the inside edges of the box at “B”. Fold the tops of the box inward if the container is

to be closed and outward if it is to be displayed open.

3. To make the chopsticks, trim the head off the matchstick, then cut the stick in half. Use the sandpaper

to taper the ends of the two sticks like chopsticks and to smooth the cut ends.

Lo Mein

1. Cut a 3” piece of green floral tape in half lengthwise. Pull and twist the pieces of floral tape into tight,

thin strips. Cut into ¼” lengths. See illustration 2.

2. Cut bits of orange, red and green craft foam to create the illusion of carrots and pepper pieces.

3. Pull off tiny pieces of mounting putty and scrunch into small chunks resembling pieces of chopped

chicken. See illustration 3.

4. To make the noodles, cut about three dozen 1 ½” lengths of the waxed linen thread. Scrunch the

threads to curl them like Chinese noodles.

5. Mix equal parts of warm brown and clear nail polish in a small cup. Toss the “noodles”, “green onion”,

“carrots”, “peppers” and “chicken” pieces in the mixture until coated. Fill the take-out container with

the “Lo Mein”. Don’t worry of some of the sauce gets on the box. It will look more realistic if it does.

Stick your chopsticks into the food in the box.
