Instructions
1. Print the template onto the A4 pieces of yellow and grey/brown card. Remember to print the image onto the BACK surface of the card that you are using. The A4 sized template is available in jpg image (right) and pdf doc (below).

4. Cut out two black circles for the wheels.
I used the Friskars Shape Cutter system, template "circles-1". The 1.00" and 1.50" circles were good sizes. Alternately, use a compass to draw the two circles and cut them by hand (Make the diameters approx 4cm and 2.5cm). If you have circle punches of appropriate sizes, you could use these as well. You can also trace around bottle lids, just get circles about the right size. |
9. Punch a hole for the eyelet / split pin using a hole punch. Punch only through the FRONT side of the card - open the card up before punching.
Position and fix the yellow eyelet so that it holds the digger's bucket onto the body. See the picture for positioning. Try not to make the eyelet too tight, so that the digger's bucket will be able to move freely up and down. OR Use the split pin to attach the bucket. If you don't have a hole punch, use a paper punch to make the hole in the bucket's strut and something sharp like a skewer to carefully make the hole in the card. |
11. Place the wheels onto the body of the digger and work out their positioning. The BOTTOM of both wheels should sit on the same horizontal level. See picture below for positioning.
Punch a hole in the centre of each wheel and through the front layer of the card also - make sure the card is laid out open to do this. |
