How To Make A Paper Bookmark (Penguin)
Step 1:
Select black, white, and orange craft papers for this penguin craft. Trace the outer base and flippers of the penguin on black colored paper and trace the beak (a small triangle) and the feet on orange colored craft papers. Cut out the traced papers.
Step 2:
Attach the inner base (white) on the outer base.
Step 3:
Attach the feet on the bottom side of the outer base of the penguin. Grab the 3 small cut outs (the one with scallop border and the 2 small round cut outs). Arrange the cut outs one by one; keeping the small ones on the top of the big ones.
Step 4:
Apply a drop of glue on the top tip of the flippers and attach the glued part on a side of the main base.
Step 5:
Similarly, attach the other flipper. The bottom side of the flippers should be free from glue.
Step 6:
Attach the googly eyes and beak. Use a pink highlighter to add blushes on both cheeks.
Step 7:
Use a colored craft paper to make the hats and attach it on the top of the penguin’s head.
