Step 3:It is easier to color in and/or decorate your pop-up pieces before you cut them out! You will need scissors, white glue (such as elmer's), a ruler, a paperclip or ballpoint pen that has run out of ink, and your two print out.
|
Step 4:Using a ruler as a guide, take the rounded end of a paper clip (or ballpoint pen that has run out of ink) and press along all the dotted lines of pop-up pieces and cards.
|
Continue scoring on all the dotted lines for the pieces as well.
|
Step 10:Make sure the flower can collapse correctly - the 2 petals at the top and the bottom should move inwards as the sides of the flower close. Unfold the flower again.
|
Step 11:Fold the tab on the top petal - marked "Glue petal here" - BACK along the dotted line.
|
Step 12Fold the tab labeled "Glue petal on reverse" upwards, then unfold.
|
Also apply glue to ONLY the top part of the folded-over tab (green highlighted area above). Do not overlap glue past the fold at the bottom of the green highlighted area.
|
Step 15:Take the petal + wing piece and align it with the glue area.
|
Step 16:Press the piece flat and allow the glue time to dry. Note that the wing which has grey illustration lines on it does not glue down.
|
Make sure the bee's body lines up with the shape beneath it.
|
Press down firmly, and allow the glue time to dry.
|
Step 20:Turn the flower and bee over. Please note the area (highlighted green in the picture above) where a petal is missing from the flower. Now find the petal piece marked "Glue here A" and put a small amount of glue in the grey area.
