Materials you will need
A single A4 sheet of roughly 200gsm card
Scissors, or a scalpel and ruler
1. Print
Print off the template on A4 card. 200gsm or similar will work best!
2. Cut
Cut along the outer red line.
3. Horizontal Fold
Fold the page in half by lining up the bottom edge and corners.
4. Vertical Fold
Now fold the page in half vertically along the dotted line.
5. Cut the Beak
Cut the beak along the solid red line. Be careful not to cut too far!
6. Fold Beak
Crease the two ‘triangles’ of the beak along the dotted line. Turn the page over and crease them the other way as well.
7. Reverse the Beak
Half close the card and ensure the beak remains in its outward position. Press gently but firmly along the back of the card to help crease the beak into place. This will ensure it pops out nicely when opened.
7. Final Crease
Make a final crease on the back of the card to fix everything in place.
7. Finished!
You’re finished! If you want, you can use double-sided tape or glue to stick the inside of the card together.
