Follow these instructions
and it will be VERY EASY.
1 Hold the paper up to the light to see the dot and dash line through
the paper. Try to lightly draw a line on the backside (where the line
should be on this side). Get a friend to help hold the paper up. (Good
teamwork part of the project) |
2 Cut the paper along the v line that will separate the body from
the other parts.
Cut out the shapes on the heavy solid OUTLINES. Cut the wing
straight without the triangle notch at first. |
3 Then cut the v notch
in each wing.
|
4 Put on clear tape, then punch hole.
|
 |
5. Color the leaf piece on both sides (Gold
or green) |
6.Fold the wing flaps as shown. One goes up and one goes down.
The one that goes down is marked, the other flap goes up. This
will stabilize the wing.
GLUE ALL THE WAY TO THE FOLD |
7 Look at the wings. Look at the dove from above
to see which wing goes on which side of the dove.
Glue on the first wing aligning the folds
on the printed dot-with-dashes-line. |
|
|
8 Prepare the second wing.
Be sure you look at the dove to see which way
the wing goes
(you're just looking) |
9 If you successfully did step 1 and have a
light line on the backside (unprinted side), fold the first wing
UP and lay it on the table. Glue on the second wing. GLUE ALL
THE WAY TO THE FOLD
If this is done, skip instruction 10. |
10 If you did not draw a light line
on the backside of the paper, here is what to do to glue
on the second wing. It's called eyeballing it!
Looking over the top of the dove, try to get
the wings in about the same place on the blank side of the dove.
Right handed people might hold the dove in their
left hand with the head towards their palm. Look down over the
body and with the right hand align and stick on the second wing.
Be sure you look at the dove to see which way
the wing goes. |
|
11 White glue may be better than a glue stick
as it allows a little movement. |
|
12. Cut about 10 inches of string or yarn. Put
one end through the hole and tie off making a large loop.

asked if you prefer to open or save the file. The choice is yours. (You
