Weird Book People

Instructions are below. Before you begin cutting I suggest making a copy of your cut-out paper puppet. This copy can be your “practice” doll. Once you've figured out how the whole thing works you’re ready for the real deal! Read all instructions before beginning, you wouldn’t want to screw up, because how embarrassing would that be.

Congratulations!
You are the owner of
something weird!

Step 1

It will be easier if you take the booklet apart so you have separate sheets to work with.

Step 2

Cut out each paper doll and their outfit.

Step 3

To make the book support cut out a strip of the cover. The book support is what will allow it to stand on your bookshelf.

Step 4

Fold the strip into an “L” shape.

Step 5

Stick the book support to the back of the doll. I used tape. Try to center and align the fold of the support to the “spine” of the doll.
