Papercraft Rocking Horse

This is a papercraft Origami-like "Wooden Rocking Horse"

You will need :
- patience
- paper glue
- paper (two different thicknesses , depending on how strong the result you want)
- x-acto knife
- (did i mentioned patien... ho... yeah! i did!)

Step 1: Printing

Just print pages 1 and 2 for the version you choose, the rest is patience, glue and an x-acto knife.

I drew the templates from scratch in Inkscape,then i simply printed this on normal paper ( the quality depends on the printer and paper of course ) and reinforcing by gluing thicker paper on the back.

There are two versions :
- female/starfish/pinkish pony version
- simpler wooden one ( photos of the Instructable are of this version )

Great for kids and fathers to spend some quality time together.

Just print pages 1 and 2 for the version you choose...

If you click on the i in the top-left corner of an image, you will be able to download a copy of that image as large as it was made.

You can then insert that image into the software of your choice, at the size of your choice, even if it is only MSWord.

Love the addition of googly eyes... will have to work them into my own models at some point. Freehand in inkscape? Props to you! Tang Mu
