How to Make a Frankenstein Bookmark

Select colored construction papers for the Frankenstein bookmark pattern. The template includes the head, hair, bolts, jacket, and front part of the shirt, arms, sleeves, trousers, and shoes. Trace and cut out the patterns nicely.

Attach the sleeve cutouts on the arm cutouts.

Attach the hair cut out to the top of the head cut out.

Use a gel pen or sharpie to draw the face of the papercraft Frankenstein figure. Attach the bolt cutouts on both sides of the head, below the ears.

Attach the arm patterns on both sides of the body base by gluing 1cm of the arms’ top ends.
The rest of the arm parts should be glue free to keep them free from the body base pattern.
