Guide |
Step 1 |
|
Select the colour below you want as the top of your mystic vortex from which the ghosts appear!
They include dashed lines showing where to cut, and small crosses to indicate the best places to add the thread later. |
|
When your page has been printed, follow the guide to print the underside..
If you load your paper from the top of your printer: take the printed spiral and rotate it so it's facing you the right way round, then flip it so the plain back side is facing you, and place it back into the tray.
If you load your paper into the front of your printer: take the printed spiral and rotate it so it's faceing you the right way round and place it back into the tray
Now you're ready to print the back!
You
can chose the same colour, or make it look great by mixing it up! |
|
|
Once both sides are printed you can then use the guides to cut around the whole circle, and then the dashed line into (almost) the center of the spiral.
|
|
Step 2 |
|
Now it's time to get your ghosts!
You'll notice that a couple of the ghosts are smaller, 1 being the smallest, remember this for step 3. |
|
|
Click to view and print this side first. |
then as instructed before acording to how you load your paper, place the same sheet back into the tray to print the back of the ghosts.. |
|
|
When both sides are printed out you can cut round them!
quick tip:
if any white is showing round the outside of the black line once cut out just colour it in with a black pen |
|
Step 3 |
|
Once you have printed and cut out your ghosts,
it's time to string 'em up!
only small pieces of thread should be used, aprx 4.5 cm is all that's needed to make sure the ghosts can all spin freely without nocking against the spiral. |
|
tape one side of the thread to the center of the ghosts head, then use the guides provided on the top sheet to find the best spots to stick the other side, with the numbers 1 and 2 to indicate where the smaller ghosts should go (because there's less room at the top)
quick tip:
to cut small piecies of tape it's a good idea to first cut a long piece and stick it to the side of a desk so you can snip smaller bits from there.
|
|
And You're Done!
A couple small blobs of blue tack, or a strip of double sided tape is all it should need to hang
the ghost mobile from your celing |
