Card Creatures

This Instructable will give you some ideas and show you how to make some Card Creatures from extra cards you have laying around. Often, when you buy a new card game, there will be 'extra cards' that have advertisements and things on them - useless for play, but useful for creating. Cards leftover from games that a card (or cards) have been lost from, or unused cards from other projects (such as hats, boxes, bags, etc.) are excellent for this as you only need a few cards for each creature. I have made these with cards ranging from 2-6 (9 on the really big one), but these are just some ideas - feel free to come up with your own. This would be a good project for kids. Simple, yet fun to make.

Step 1: What You Need

- Cards
- Scissors or knife
- Stapler
- Extra staples

- I didn't color any of mine, but since these are 'extra' or 'leftover' cards, you may want to color or paint over them to make them look better.

NOTE: You should be able to see how to staple the pieces together by looking at the completed creatures (last picture in each step). The more complicated ones have more pictures to help with this. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
