- paper
- printer

Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice.
- Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
- Glue the large rectangular piece on first to
cover the tube.
- the slightly larger part is the jacket (red)
- the slightly smaller part is the pants (grey)
- the lines running vertically designate the legs and the jacket
closure. They should go at the front of the craft.
- Glue on the head and arms.
- You may need to trim the arms a bit shorter depending on how you decide to
place them. In the photo, we folded a bit at the end of the arm and
glued that to the tp roll so the arms spread out in the air.
- Fold the tabs on the feet and glue them on the inside of the tp roll to
give a 3D effect.
- "Decorate" as a palace guard with hat, belt, buttons
and rifle.
Templates:
