Instructions

  • Download the template, print it, and cut out the pieces you need.

  • Next, draw a small circle for the nose, in the middle of the face, just above the mouth.
  • Glue the head to the top center of the robe.

  • Next, glue the small arms to the back and sides of the robe.
  • Optionally: Cut a piece of ribbon and tie it into a bow. Add a dab of glue at the neck and place the ribbon there to glue it in place.
  • Now take the wings template, place it on the paper plate, trace over it, and cut it out.
  • Finally, glue the robe to the middle of the paper plate.
