Instructions
These instructions are in two parts: general instructions, which
should be read if you are new to paper craft; and assembly in-
structions, which describe a suggested order for assembling your
model. Please read these instructions before printing the pattern. —–—
General Instructions
Tools and Materials
You’ll need the following tools and materials to complete this
model.
Tools
• Scissors with a blade length of around 3”
• A clear plastic ruler
• Glue spreader (if using liquid glue), which can be bought
from a craft shop or you can use a small flexible piece of
plastic –––
• Scoring tool such as an opened paper clip, empty ball point 2
pen, or blunt pair of scissors
Materials
• Paper (card) for the model. Use card which has a grammage
of 170-210 gsm (with 210 gsm preferred) and/or thickness
of 230-280 micron. Pulp board or craft card is ideal. If your
printer supports printing directly onto card then use A4/Let-
ter size card otherwise the pattern can be used as a template.
As an alternative you can also reuse existing materials such as
old greeting cards and cereal boxes.
• Glue. White school glue (PVA) or a glue stick. If this is your
first model then we suggest using school glue since it takes a
little longer to dry so giving you time to make small adjust-
ments as you build the model. If you want quicker results Hill fold Valley fold

ley fold.
It is a good idea to practice scoring and folding on some scrap
card beforehand.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you want to create a model with
the pattern on the inside surface then folds should be in-
terpreted in the opposite sense - even dashed lines should
be interpreted as valley folds and uneven dashes as hill
folds.
Locating the parts
Each join point on the pattern has two corresponding numbers -
one on the tab side and one on the edge side. So for instance, tab
number 2 joins with edge number 2. The model is constructed
by joining corresponding tabs to edges as shown in the example
below.

Assembling the Sculpture
Score and fold so that the pattern and tabs are on the inside of the completed sculpture.
Follow the build sequence as described in the following diagrams. These show the pattern parts and the corresponding position on
the sculpture.
Build sequence
The Alien sculpture comes in four parts: the head, eyeballs, and two hands. The head is symmetrical with left and right parts arranged
on corresponding pages on the pattern.
The head is built by starting with the eye region, then the face and finally the back and sides of the head. The eyeballs are glued to
the inside of the head before closing it.
The hands are built by making each finger separately and then joining these together; finally closing the back of the hand.
Assembling the sculpture in this way gives you more working space to press the joints together from inside the sculpture.
You may find that a narrow tool is useful to get into spaces where your fingers would be too large. A crochet or knitting needle is
ideal for this.
The Head
Start on the Eyes
Locate the parts for the left and right eyes on the pattern.
Starting with the inner eye loop assemble and glue each eye region separately. Attach the nose strip before joining the two eye regions
together at the nose.

Eye region

The Mouth and Upper lip

Locate the parts for the upper lip and mouth. Attach these strips one at a time starting with those closest to the nose.

Mouth and upper lip

Chin and neck
Locate the parts for chin and neck. Starting with the strips nearest the centre of the mouth, glue these together to form the region
shown in the diagram.

Chin and neck

Cheeks and side of face

Find the parts for the cheeks and side of the face. Starting with the part which attaches to the nose, build the cheek region on each
side of the head.

Top of the head
Complete the face by attaching the parts for the top of the head. Start with the strips closest to the eye region and attach these one
at a time, finishing at the ears.

Top of head

The eyeballs
The eyeballs are created by gluing together a curved surface and then attaching these to the inside of the head at an angle which you
prefer. Rather than using tabs, the eyeballs are simply glued in place into the head.
Locate the parts for each eyeball and build separately.
From inside of the head, run a line of glue around the open eyelids and gently hold the completed eyeball to the glued area. You may
find that holding them in place with some sticky tape helps whilst the glue dries.

Attach the back of the head (flat parts)
The final step for the head is to attach the flat back surface. This is the surface which is mounted against a wall using a nail or pin
for instance.
The back is made in two parts making it easier to attach it to the head.
Start with the top piece. Before gluing it to the head, make sure that you have created a hole in the position shown on the pattern; this is so
that the head can be fixed to a wall using a pin for instance. Starting with the tabs nearest the top of the head, glue each tab in turn until
the top section is complete.
Now attach the bottom piece but this time start with the tabs nearest the bottom of the head. Finally glue the centre tabs together.

Flat back

At this stage you should have completed the head.

The Hands
The pattern is arranged in a way so that all parts for each finger are on the same page, and consecutive fingers follow on consecutive
pages. These instructions describe how to build one finger. Build the other fingers in the same way.
Each finger is built in turn and then the completed fingers are joined together to form the hand. Finally the hand is closed with a
flat surface piece which is then fixed to a wall for example.

A finger

Locate the parts for the finger. Start at just below the tip of the finger and glue each strip together forming a ‘fan’ of strips.
Now work downwards and around the finger, gluing each tab in turn. The finger will gradually take form as you work from the tip
to the base.
Close the hand
The final step for the hand is to close the sculpture by attaching the flat surface piece.
Before gluing the flat part, make sure that you have created a hole at the position shown on the pattern.
Starting with the tabs nearest the fingers and working towards the bottom, glue each in turn. You may find that using tape to tem-
porarily hold the part in place helps.

Flat back

Your Alien sculpture is now complete and just needs to be attached to the nearest wall!
