How it works

How To Make It

Print your chosen set at 100% / Actual size. Do not select Fit to page.
Colour first if using the black-and-white version. Cut the dashed outlines and keep every glue tab.
Curl B1 and glue its full overlap. Thread each new strip through the previous ring before closing it. Continue the body through B6.
Attach both six-link arms through B1 and both six-link legs through B6.
Glue the skull, hands and feet using their tabs, then add the bow. Reinforce behind with clear tape if needed.
An adult can tape a short hanging loop behind the skull. Let the glue dry fully before displaying.
