Here is a fun idea for making a self-store flannel board ~  out of a pizza box. When the box is opened, it will act as its own easel. Store the figures inside the box in small zip lock bags/envelopes.

Supplies needed:

• 1 yard of 45" wide cotton or cotton-blend fabric (Darker colors & prints are best) If you want to use left-over fabric, you will need enough for the 2 pieces listed below.
• 2 yards of light-weight Wonder-Under
• 1 square foot of light blue, light gray, or white felt
• 1 large pizza box ( I used a large Little Caesars® Box and cut as shown. Any large piece of cardboard would work, but some of the cuts and scoring are already on the Little Caesars® box.
• iron
• scissors
• razor cutter
• masking tape
• spring type clothes pins
• Aleene's Tacky Glue® 31 "

INSTRUCTIONS Cut box as indicated. Use razor to get straight cuts. (Broken lines are fold lines.) (This is NOT a scale drawing! Measurements are inches) Score along fold lines on the inside of box. Cut fabric into the following sizes: (36" X 24") & (30" X 16") Fuse Wonder-Under to wrong side of both strips of fabric. Fuse Wonder-Under to one side of felt. Center and fuse 30" X 16" piece of fabric to inside of box. Center and fuse 36" X 24" piece of fabric to outside of box. (It will overlap.) Cut slits in fabric to match box slits. Trim corners and excess at slits. On long ends and bottom sides, turn and fuse 1/4" (fabric to fabric) Turn & fuse all edges to box. Glue folded edges to box. Fold in side flaps and glue in place. Be generous with the glue. Hold until dry with masking tape and spring type clothes pins.
