Step by Step Tutorial:
Printing the Surprise Witch Templates
Download and print the Surprise Witch Template from the Arty Crafty Kids members area.
The template can be downloaded onto good quality paper or card stock.
If you opt for cardstock, remember to check your printer settings for a recommended weight. Most printers prefer card stock less than 220gsm.
Colour in the B&W Template
Colour in the blank template with your Arty Crafty Kids favourite medium.
For best results, try to use thick paper or cardstock. Some pens can leave the paper soggy.
How to Fold the Surprise
Witch Printable Craft
Start from bottom dashed line.
The 1st Fold
Make a fold across the whole width of the paper, turning the paper over as you fold to find the lower legs on the back page.
Run your finger or a craft stick along the fold to make it nice and crisp. This will make the opening and closing of the template nice and easy.
Turn the template over and find the upper dashed line.
The 2nd Fold
Bring the fold that you’ve just made up towards the dashed line, making sure they’re aligned. The legs should now join as one with the spider hidden.
Run your hands across the top of the join and spread your hands across the paper, flattening and creating a new fold inside.
Now it’s playtime!
Simply pull the lower legs in a downwards motion to reveal the witch’s furry friend!
