Workshops

Cat Papercraft: Available here. 

Step by Step

1. Print out the provided papercraft. The papercraft can be printed on either printer paper or cardstock. Use cardstock if you want a sturdier version.

2. Using scissors or an x-acto knife, cut out the papercraft. 

3. Each part of the papercraft has sections separated by a dotted line. Fold along the dotted lines so that the colorful sides face outwards. Any tab that has a blue dot will be folded inward to secure each piece to another part of the papercraft. Take care not to fold the cat's ears by accident.

4. Next, attach the front piece of the cat to the back piece by interlocking and gluing the three triangles to the inside top of the front and back piece. Use just a dab of glue and press down to give the glue a moment to set. 

5. Glue the last two blue dot tabs to the inside front of the papercraft. Make sure the arms wrap around the front. 

6. Add glue to the long tabs on the very bottom of the papercraft. Fold the bottom flap and press lightly to give the glue a moment to set. This might be slightly difficult since this is the bottom.

7. Finally, add a dot of glue on the red dot on the tail and press it to the red dot on the bottom of the papercraft. 

Congratulations! You have just made your first papercraft!
