Step 1: Take any 2 same size colour tinted paper or cartridge paper for outer card and one for penguin pop-up (with thickness of more than 135-gsm). Also take a smaller card (around one-third the size of outer card for the baby penguin). Fold all the papers in half and press down firmly.


Step 2: After folding paper in half and then draw the basic shape of the penguin as you can see in the picture. Repeat the process for the baby penguin pop-up.


Step 3: Carefully cut out the pop-up pieces for the penguin and its baby.


Step 4: You should have 4 pieces in all. Two for adult penguin and the baby each.


Step 5: Using a ruler and cutter as a guide, give the penguin pieces crease and fold.


Step 6: Apply a small amount of glue (only on the wings shown).


Step 7: Make sure the middle line of the card matches the middle line of the penguin’s body piece. Press firmly and be sure to let the glue dry.


Step 8: Make the headpiece and align it to the body of the penguin. Fold the two tabs at the side of the headpieces and fold them inwards and apply glue only on the tabs. Make sure the middle line of the card matches the middle line of the headpiece. Press firmly and let the glue dry.


Step 9: Repeat 6 steps for the baby penguin. Make sure the crease is aligned.


Step 10: Attach the headpiece (similar to step 7)


Step 11: Make sure all the pieces are completely dry before closing. Close your card completely and press down firmly.


Step 12: Add colours.
