Assembly Instructions

Thank you for downloading this special New Year’s paper craft model. By following these instructions while referring to the

names and numbers shown on the parts sheet, you can complete a paper craft model of the Tiger, 1998’s annual symbol in

Chinese/Japanese zoology. You might also try making the Kadomatsu and the Kumade paper craft models located on a separate

pages of this web site. They will match perfectly with the Tiger!

Assembly instructions: Three A4-sized sheets

Paper craft: One A4-sized sheet with 4 parts in all.

These instructions apply only to the "Tiger".

These Paper Craft parts are easier to work with when printed out on strong,

thick paper (like postcard stock).

*In creating these Paper Craft models we use 135kg Kent paper stock (0.18mm).

To begin

Basic working method and markings

Tools and materials needed

-Ruler - Scissors - Blade cutter or "Exacto-knife" -

Awl or other pointed tool (for making a folding crease)

- Felt pen - Pin set - Glue - Hand towel

(Solid lines)

Items of Caution

Fold along these lines. The printed sur-

face should be on the outside of the

folded shape.

(Shown as in the instructions)

Take care when using sharp or pointed objects. When using

bladed cutting tools, place a heavy sheet of paper under the

paper you want to cut.

Use glue and other adhesives only in well-ventilated areas.

When printing, use a slightly reduced font size as there may

be differences in dimensions depending on the type of printer

used.

How to assemble

Cutting technique

The part names and numbers are printed clearly on

each sheet. When cutting out the parts, match the

number of the parts shown in the instructions with

the same number on the parts sheets.

Cut carefully along the outline with a cutting blade,

Exacto-knife or scissors.

One-point Advice

Use caution when using a blade cutter.

For folding parts, first use an awl or other pointed

tool to make a light crease along the dotted or

solid line. This will make the folds straight.

Avoid making strong creases as this will cause

the paper to tear.

As an adhesive, white, wood glue is recom-

mended. Avoid over-application as this will cause

the paper to wrinkle.

Before beginning assembly, test adhesive

amounts on extra paper.

Occasionally, white spots will be apparent on

folds and cuts. Use a marker or pencil to fill in

these spots. It is recommended that this be done

after each stage of assembly because coloring

becomes more difficult once parts are as-

sembled.

Assembly

Please refer to the "Basic working method and markings" symbol chart.

Once the parts are folded properly, begin gluing and insertion.

Parts list

Instructions

Please refer to this picture for placement of parts.

Glue together parts marked 2 and 3. Then

round it as in the following

picture. This part will be the hole where

the Tiger's head will go.

What does the"Tiger"

symboize?

The Tiger is one of the twelve

holy sings of the Chinese and

Japanese zodiac, which is

much different from Western

astrology. It is based on a cal-

endar that originated in ancient

China and was brought to Ja-

pan around the 8th Century. By

the 17th Century, it became

widely common in the daily

life of Japanese society. The

Tiger was regarded as one of

the holy animals in China.

Fold the

pasted parts

of 3 inward

and glue

together

with part 2.

Insert the Tiger's neck

through the hole made

in the above illustra-

tion. Later, you may

wish to put some clay

or other weighty mate-

rial in the end of the

neck for weight.

Glue the tail (part 4)

to the Tiger's body.
