1. Print and Cut the TemplateStep 1Print the template on a thick A4 sheet or carton. You can also print it out in A3 size to make a bigger hand puppet if you wish. The small one is more suitable for kids' hands. The dotted lines on the pattern mark the points where you need to cut and fold. Step 2Using a pair of scissors, trim off the white edges outside the dotted rectangle. You may also use a cutter and a cutting mat for more precision. 2. Fold and Glue the PuppetStep 1Place the page on on a flat surface with the printed side facing down. Fold the page in half along the vertical central line, by bringing the left edge towards the right. Follow the dotted line as a guide. Once folded, crease well. You may use a bone folder or the back of a metal spoon for perfectly sharp folds. Step 2Open up the page and apply some stick glue. Please don't forget the corners of your page. Fold the page once more, and press to ensure that the page is firmly glued. Step 3Now, following the upper dotted line of the pattern, fold the upper part of the page downwards. And crease well. Now the face should appear looking upside down. Step 4Now bring the lower edge of the page upwards and fold along the dotted line. Crease well. Step 5Flip the face over so that you can see the mouth. Fold in the center. Carefully align the lower edge with the upper edge and then crease. Open the puppet up. You actually made an accordion fold, where the mouth should be on the inside and the face on top. Well done! 3. Add the Elastic Band |
