For best results, glue the printout sheets to a thin piece of cardboard or poster board with spray adhesive or other glue (applied in a very thin layer to avoid rippling the paper). This will give your model strength and durability.

If you wish to paint or add color to your model, it is easiest to do so while the pieces are still flat.

On the diagrams, red means to cut something.
Green means to use glue or tape.

The Blue lines indicate folding directions.

• Cut out the 5 pieces of the model:
  • sheet 1: head piece, small braided beard, head ornament
  • sheet 2: shoulder piece, stand
• Assemble the head piece:
  • First, cut our the back of the ears, so that they can be folded and turned out.
  • Cut the two slits into the chin. This is where the beard will go. Cut the small slit just above the forehead, this is where the head ornament will go.
  • Fold the "wings" on the head upwards along the dotted line.
  • Now, fold the back of the head down along the dotted line.
  • Bend, but don't fold the front of the face and secure the tabs with tape or glue to the underside of the paper. The bottom wide tab (just below the chin should wrap around and meet the back side of the head piece. The front of the face should have curves, not folds.
  • Let the glue dry, if any is used.
  • Bend the ears out just a little.
  

  Fold and slide in place the beard and headpiece. You may use a small drop of glue to hold them securely, but they should stay in place without it.

  

  Assemble the Shoulders and Base:

  • On the shoulder piece, cut the slit near the center of the piece. This is where the stand will come up and attatch to the head piece.
  • Now, fold the two side pieces down and attatch the tabs to the bottom of the shoulder piece. (the larger area should have a nice curved shape now)
  • Now fold the pieces on the stand. Attatch the long tab to the other side of the piece, so that it forms a tall 3-sided pyramid shape.
  • Let the glue dry if you used any.

  

  Final Assembly:

  • Insert the large tab on the top of the base piece through the slit in the shoulder piece. Attach this with glue or tape to the back of the headpiece so that the head appears to be resting on the shoulders. You may need to fold the two "tails" of the headdress up a little to allow a good fit.
  • Let it dry.
