materials needed
These are the material suggestions if you want to make the model as shown in the photo.
You can use any material or color substitutions that you would like, as long as they are in the
same quantities as the material that you are substituting.

mess of your model or just don’t stick well enough to hold it together.

• 1 sheet Dark Green cardstock - 12” x 12” or 8.5” x 11”
• 1 sheet Brown cardstock - 12” x 12” or 8.5” x 11”
fold lines & preparation
This design may have both mountain and valley fold lines. This means that some lines will
fold in and others will fold out depending on the design. You’ll need to watch the line
pattern and be sure you are folding the paper in the right direction.
