print it / Secret Stash Christmas Tree Ornaments that can hold Gifts

These are Christmas tree ornaments that can be opened to hold a gift.
If you want to print them with numbers, to make them an advent calendar, use the 24 Secrets File. I had to separate them both because of the file size on the upload

The mechanism is a new invention by me, inspired by the genius animations of Javad Taba.
