Nulu
Step 1: Preparation | Step 2: Body | Step 3: Head
Supplies:
- print out of Nulu pattern
- glue and toothpick
- cutting mat and knife or scissors
- empty ball point pen or mechanical pencil
- tweezers
Be sure to print the pattern double-sided so her hair is colored on both sides.
First cut out the three pattern pieces. I like to start with the smallest areas first. On the piece with Nulu's face, I like to extend the tab that runs into the ribbon ends as much as possible for a little extra glueing space.
Next score the folds by tracing the dotted lines with the empty pen. A mechanical pencil with the lead drawn in works too. You may be tempted to skip this step but it makes folding a lot easier.
Fold and unfold everything. Double check to make sure no edges were missed. It's a lot more difficult to make the folds while glueing.
Prepare a little glue. I like to use a toothpick to spread it around. This keeps my fingers and consequently the model cleaner. Toothpicks are also better for reaching into small corners.
