Supplies

  • 1 printer (if you don't have one, you can draw)
  • 1 A4 paper with the head of your choice printed
  • 1 paper of 270gr (something thicker than simple paper, but not as thick as cardboard to be cut easily)
  • 1 scissors
  • 1 pencil
  • glue
  • scotch tape (option to solidify)

The Head

  • Print in color on an A4 sheet of paper

If you don't have a printer, you can draw an animal with its mouth open on an A4 sheet of paper.

  • Cut out the white outline of the head and the location of the mouth.

Preparation of the Support Cardboard

  • Place the animal's head on the cardboard.
  • Draw the location of the mouth, a vertical rectangle under the head, and the circumference of the head.
  • Cut the bottom rectangle precisely, the mouth by cutting outside the line, the contour by cutting inside the line.

Assembly

Folding

  • Make a fold at the top of the rectangle to fold the paper.
  • Then make a second fold 4cm from the first, to reach the head.

Bonus: If the whole thing is not stable enough, you can add tape between the folded backing paper and the head to consolidate it.

Have Fun!
