Print our templates. Regular printer paper will work, although it’s best to print on thicker printer paper.

If you want to color our template, we recommend coloring it before cutting, this definitely makes things easier.

No need to keep it within the limit ;).

Cut out all the pieces.

If you are using a template as a stencil – trace the parts onto cardboard – body on black, “wings” on whatever color you want, legs on black (these colors are completely up to you). Glue the “wings” onto the body.
