Arcade Astro Nomical
Inspiration Image: Card Example:
Instructions/Notes:
● Use the templates (on next 2 pages) to outline pieces in desired colors. If you want the
character facing the direction in the example, flip templates over before tracing. Tip:
Mark the side you’ll glue down with the name of the piece.
● Cut out all templated pieces.
● Arrange your pieces before gluing, pay special attention to those pieces that will be
behind others (tail behind body, back foot behind body & tail, front leg over body then
hand over body/front leg, belly on body but behind front leg).
● If you plan on drawing a background for the card, do so before gluing any pieces to it.
● Glue pieces to the card. Glue front leg only on left side to body so you can flip it up and
still see belly.
