Papercraftmas Day 12: Mitten Nap (Patreon)

Gee, she looks cozy!  So this is a simple one, and shouldn't require too much scaffolding to get it to stand, but I recommend using two small triangles rather than one large one!  This is a cute one to hide among the presents or decorations.

Materials You'll Need

Lineart or colored illustration printed on a single sheet of heavy cardstock or watercolor paper- if you're printing at home and using 8.5x11 paper, your paperchild will be a little smaller than my elves.  I used Canson XL watercolor paper (9x12, from Walmart) and the Qor Mini Palette, plus a tube of gouache, for all the paperchildren.

Scissors

XActo Blade

Double Stick Tape

Foam Tape

Adhesive of choice (I'm using Tombow's permanent tape runner)

Popsicle Sticks

Coins (as a weight)

Single Sided Tape

When you cut out your paperchild, save that paper!  We use it to create the base and reinforce the paperchild!
