Happy Holidays from FREEwilliamsburg and Paper Foldables! To celebrate the season, here is "Hipster Nutcracker"!
This is probably one of the most complicated Paper Foldables I have designed, so to help in your assembly, I've put together
this step-by-step instructional. The following methods I find work best for assembling all of my Paper Foldables.
-Bryan.
. . .
Download and print the Paper Foldables template on sturdy cardstock paper. I recommend using a hobby knife and double-sided tape,
but feel free to use scissors and glue or whatever you feel works best!
. . .
Carefully cut along the solid black outline.
. . .
Cut out all the separate pieces and be sure to cut the indicated slit lines.
. . .
Lightly run your hobby knife over the dotted lines to score it. This will make folding easier and more precise.
. . .
Fold along the dotted lines.
. . .
Place double-sided tape to the tabs and adhere to the backside of the area it attaches to. No tape should be visible on your final product!
. . .
Use opposite end of hobby knife or a pencil to apply pressure to the hard-to-reach tabs that have been taped.
. . .
Assemble all of your separate pieces.
. . .
Assemble top and bottom section of head/torso separately. Secure the arms thru the side slits and tape folded tabs to the opposite side.
. . .
Fit the jaw lever to the bottom of the head/torso section, then fold into place to connect the top and bottom sections. Secure sides together with tape.
. . .
Fit tabs into slits to connect the legs to the top section.
. . .
Connect legs to the base.
. . .
Fill up the Hipster's head with holiday treats (sold separately)!
. . .
Fit hat over top of head to hide your treats.
. . .
Ear flaps can be tied up via slits in the "string" pieces.
. . .
Give Hipster Nutcracker to your favourite Grandmother!
