How to Get Involved!
Would you like to participate in the Vectortuts+ Paper Toy Project? It’s easy, all you need to do is Download the Template, join the Vectortuts+ Facebook Group and get creative! Use the following guide to create the toy once you’ve printed it out.
Step 1
Print the template out and find a pair of scissors and a some tape or glue.
Step 2
Cut the template out along the solid lines and fold along the dashed lines.
Step 3
Fold the side parts with the legs under the sides of the front panel and align the arm holes.
Step 4
Thread the arm section through the arm holes and fold down the back and bottom panels.
Final Step
Stick all of the panels together with the tape or glue. Take a photo of your toy – be as creative as you can with the location and scene (not like me!) and upload it to the Vectortuts+ facebook group.
