No colour printer is required. Follow the colour pictures on screen. Use white card for the hand-drawn window and plain coloured paper for the other projects.
Use Actual size / 100% for cutting patterns and check the calibration bar where supplied. Instruction pictures and AI display images are not size templates.
Adults can prepare small paper pieces in advance. For the decoration set, choose the rosette, paper ball or chain for one session, then make the others later.
The draw-and-fold Christmas window takes about 25 minutes and needs no glue. The complete decoration set takes about 60-90 minutes plus drying, or you can make one of its three pieces at a time.
It is one 31-page English PDF with 25 pictured actions. It teaches a red accordion rosette, green six-fin paper ball and interlocking paper chain. The other projects on this page are separate guides.
The Christmas window uses one piece of white card and colouring tools, with no glue. The snowman, folded tree and decoration set use glue for their paper layers or joins.
No. Plain coloured paper or your own colouring supplies the colour. Read the illustrated instructions on screen and print any required outline patterns in black and white.
An English digital PDF with preparation, materials and pictured making steps. No paper, jar, glue, thread, physical kit or finished decoration is shipped. This preview shop currently offers demonstration checkout.
The licence permits your household or one classroom to use the guide. Choose a suitable level, test a sample before group use and supervise cutting and hanging. Do not redistribute or resell the digital files.
