Step 1
Print the templates onto A4 card or paper. There are three templates. You will need two copies of template 2. You can print templates 2 and 3 on yellow card / paper if you don't wish to colour them in. The template is available as pdf (below) or jpg images (right).

Step 2
Colour in the templates. |

Step 3
Score along all the fold lines. Scoring makes it easy to fold the paper on the lines and gives a much better result. You can use a special scoring tool, but a ball point pen that has run out of ink does a great job too. You can use any ball point pen if you don't mind the marks on your creation. I use a clay modelling tool that I found in a craft shop. Score the fold lines on the chicken's body, wings, legs and beak. Tutorial on Scoring and Folding |
