Monkeys.. monkeys.. monkeys! They are always full of funny. More monkeys – more funny. Invite them to live in your kitchen or living room. Don't be afraid about your house order, they will be always on a rather short leash.

Step 1: Tools and Materials

Tools:

  • PC+printer (for drawings printing) or pencil+eraser (for manual drawing);
  • maximum convenient scissors;
  • small awl or needle;
  • paper glue (a bit);
  • ruler (line)

Materials:

  • A4 paper sheets (>120 g/m2) – 3..4 items;
  • twine or thread (D=1..2 mm) – 1..2 m;
  • small pieces of any color paper

Step 2: Preparing of the Drawings

You can print sample drawings or make your own manually on the sheets of thick paper (with density a bit greater than 120 g/m2). Plan your job (and forces) – each monkey needs to be cut around the contour! Round elements on the top of each hand or foot (or tail) will be used to organize monkeys' party.

Step 3: Cutting the Items

The most monkeys' step (;-)) – cut each figure around the contour. You need to make as many monkeys as you can!

Step 4: Composing

Collect your monkeys' team and arrange them in appropriate sequence and orientation.

Step 5: A Small Make-up

Each monkey needs to have a face. Use small pieces of color paper and glue.

Step 6: Assembling

Make holes (with awl or needle) on the all-round elements (on monkeys' figures) according to a composing plan. To fix each arm or foot (or tail) on the twine skip the loop of twine in the hole on a monkeys' figure and use a small paper chip or twine as a lock. Such mounting will give you opportunity to make any changes in final assembly (without items breaking). Fasten all the monkeys on the twine.

Step 7: Installation

Mount the twine with monkeys on suitable surface. At any place your monkeys they will make themselves at home!
