The first installment of these Christmas do it yourself wood cuts came in the November 1954 issue of Popular Mechanics.
Included in the 5 page feature are the patterns and instructions for a
life-size snowman with a hat, scarf, and a broom; Choirboys in robes
holding music books.
A jolly Santa Claus in a sleigh with toys in his sack, and a reindeer to pull him along; A group of carolers with songbook; a uniquely shaped Santa Claus; A fun pattern for 3D style Christmas trees.
A praying angel with a halo; and finally, tall skinny
candles with stars behind the flames.
