Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your 3D paper bugs. Refer to the included instruction booklet for specific details for each bug design.

1. Prepare Components: Carefully detach all pre-cut paper and cardboard pieces from their sheets. Identify the pieces for one bug at a time to avoid confusion.

2. Fold Pieces: Many pieces will have score lines. Gently fold along these lines to create the 3D shapes. Ensure folds are crisp for best results.
3. Assemble Body Parts: Begin by attaching the main body sections. Use the provided glue or double-sided tape as indicated in the instruction booklet. Apply adhesive sparingly to avoid excess.

Display and Care

Once assembled, your 3D paper bugs are ready for display. They can be placed on shelves, desks, or hung as decorative art pieces. To ensure the longevity of your creations:

• Handle the finished crafts gently to avoid bending or tearing the paper.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade over time.
• Keep away from moisture and high humidity to prevent warping or damage to the paper and adhesives.
• Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or brush if needed.

Troubleshooting

• Pieces not adhering: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying adhesive. Apply a small, even amount of glue or firmly press tape. Allow sufficient drying time.
• Folds are difficult: If a piece is hard to fold, gently pre-crease along the score lines using a ruler or blunt tool before making the final fold.
• Missing parts: Double-check the packaging. If a component is genuinely missing, please contact customer support.
