Activity

1. Using an A4 sheet of paper, concertina fold the paper as shown above. Ensure that the panels are wide enough to fit the stencil and that all the folds are equal in width. This is very important.
2. Place the stencil on the fold of the paper with the straight edge of the pattern along the folded edges of the paper.
3. Trace around the stencil. Use sticky putty to hold the stencil in place while tracing, if necessary.
4. Holding the paper securely, cut along the traced lines.
