Craft Time: Sulley and Boo 3D Papercraft!



Download the Sulley and Boo Papercraft template!

How to make it

  1. Print the template on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces.
  2. Starting with the body, cut along the three dark lines of the triangular tabs located at the bottom of the body. Fold the paper at the dashed lines away from you. Using glue or double-sided tape, secure the A tab located near the top of the body to the back of the piece next to it. Next, secure the A tab located near the bottom of the body to the back of the piece next to it. Continue this pattern with the remaining B and C tabs. Complete the shape with the D tabs.
  3. For the head, fold the paper at the dashed lines away from you. Beginning with the left side of the head, secure the E tab to the back of the piece directly below it. Secure the F tab to the back of the side of the head. Secure the G tab to the back of the piece next to it. Repeat this pattern with the E, F, and G tabs on the right side of the head. Slide the H tab into the opening at the top of the body and secure it with glue.
  4. To put the right leg together, you will need the following three pieces: Outer Panel, Inner Panel, and Front Leg. Fold the paper at the second horizontal dashed line on the Front Leg toward you. Fold the paper at all other dashed lines away from you.
  5. Secure tabs M-P on the Front Leg to the back of the corresponding areas on the Inner Panel.
  6. Attach the Outer Panel to the Front Leg using tabs I-L on the Front Leg. The front, left, and right sides of the leg are now complete.
  7. To complete the back of the leg, secure the R tab to the inside of the Inner Panel and the S tab to the inside of the Outer Panel making sure it goes over the T tab. Secure the T tab to finish the leg.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the left leg.
  9. Make sure the claws are pointing outward on each foot. Attach the legs to the inside of the body using the three Q tabs on each leg.
  10. Fold the spine in half along the center dashed line and secure so the design is two-sided.  Do not glue the tabs together. Instead, butterfly the tabs outward and attach them to the light colored area on his back labeled “spine.”
  11. Fold the tail in half along the center dashed line and secure so the design is two-sided.  Do not glue the tabs together. Instead, butterfly the tabs outward and attach them to the area on his back labeled “tail.”
  12. Fold Sulley’s right arm in half along the center dashed line and secure so the design is two-sided. Fold the O tab away from you and secure it to the area on the body labeled “O.”  Fold the left arm in half along the center dashed line and secure so the design is two-sided.  Fold the P tab away from you and secure it to the area on the body labeled “P.”
  13. Fold each horn in half and secure so the design is two-sided. Fold the tabs back and use them to attach the horns to the sides of his head.

What you'll need

How to make it

  1. Valentine Balloon BouquetPrint out the template and cut out the pieces. Cut out a bunch of heart balloons from bright colored papers. You can cut out several at once by stacking small squares of paper and then setting the template on top and cutting around it. Next, cut the remaining house pieces out of brown paper. (Note: using different shades of brown will make the house look more three-dimensional.)
