Make sure you have some clear working space and a flat surface to glue on.

Open the small parts box and identify the pieces. Separate the parts for each card design so that you can make one at a time.

The eyes are self-adhesive

Many of the parts use textured card, check to see which side is up.

Lay out the parts of the design on the card blank first so you can see the best arrangement.

The final design will be unique to you. Everyone will put the head at a slightly different angle and the eyes in a slightly different place, giving each design its own character.

When you are ready to glue, start with the larger background and sky parts.
