1. Cut the parts from the cards—follow the red line on the reverse of the card as a guide.

2. Score the cutout to make a nice easy fold—place a ruler close to the green dotted line and run a pen or a bone folder along it (optional).

3. Fold along the scored line—be sure to hold the part with the picture facing up.

4. Glue the grey tab numbered 1 and place a white tab numbered 1 over it. Press both tabs together until stuck. Glue all the other parts likewise.

5. Assemble the parts together as shown in the instructions. Attach the palm trees to the front side. Be sure to sign your masterpiece!
