P is for Parrot

The parrot is once again an easy template, except maybe for the curvature of the beak. Very importantly, don’t forget to glue a small weight into the base – such as a small coin. Otherwise, the parrot will fall over.

Here is how to make the P (the photos are a slightly updated version from the Alphabeticals book): First, glue a small weight (such as a 1 cent coin) to the back of the parrot, from the inside, near the bottom. This will allow the parrot to stand up and not fall over:

Next, glue the edge faces to one of the two P sides, following the outline:

Finally, close the shape by gluing the remaining P face to the edge.

You will find the other 25 letters of the papercraft alphabet here.

Here is the template as a PDF file.
