Papercraft turtle – lesson 1

You can see that this paper turtle consists of a torso and two parts of the carapace – the top bigger and the bottom smaller. Cut these items out of paper. Black bold lines indicate locations where you need to make the slits or tuck.

On the upper part of the four radial tuck make little push and stick with any glue. And now put the head and tail into the slots in the front and back of the top part of the shell.
