Assemble the crafts

The specific instructions for assembling crafts vary from one project to another. Some crafts contain additional instructions printed on the craft itself, others, such as the large doll house, contain only instructions for creating your own craft. In general, do the following to assemble a craft:

1.	After printing, cut out the craft using scissors. Make sure you cut around the fold and glue tabs, as these are used to hold the craft together.

2.	Fold the craft on each of the fold lines, including the glue tabs.

3.	Place a small amount of glue on the glue tabs and glue the craft together according to the example on the craft printout. We recommend that you use glue sticks, particularly when working with children.

4.	Allow the craft to dry completely before handling.
