CUTTING

Die cut the two large, yellow shapes from the Mailbox Box Card die by
i-crafter. Die cut the white circles and small black dots from the Classic Circles die by i-crafter. Use a 1/4″ hole puncher to die cut two blue circles and two brown circles

Die cut the grey rings from the Classic Circles die by i-crafter. There are four alignment marks on the back of the circle dies. Align the two smallest circles and hold together with a piece of low-tack tape to die cut the grey rings to make the goggles.

ASSEMBLY

Fold the side tabs on the large, yellow shapes

Place the blue pants shape along the bottom of the yellow shape. Do not adhere yet. Adhere the smaller blue bib shape in the center, behind and above the top of the blue pants.

Apply adhesive to the left side tab on the back yellow shape and adhere it to the left side tab on the front

Apply adhesive on the right side tab and adhere it to the front right tab to create an open box

We used a long strip of blue to create the pants but it is easier to cut smaller shapes and adhere on each panel. So please follow the download size guide and adhere the four blue pants shapes on each side.

Continue adhering the blue pants to all sides

Adhere the blue straps as shown

Trim off the excess blue straps

Adhere the blue circles as “buttons” where the straps overlap the bib

Adhere the gray goggle strip as shown

Assemble the eyes by adhering the 1/4″ brown circle in the middle of the white circle. Adhere the black dot in the middle of the brown circle.

You can add variations to the eyes by die cutting yellow circles to use as eyelids

Adhere the goggles as shown. Adhere the eyes inside the goggles. Trim off the two edges of the goggle strap

Use a scoring board to score 1/4″ on all sides of the larger blue rectangle: 3 3/4″ x 1 1/2″. Trim the corners at an angle.

Fold in all four sides. Add adhesive to the edges

Carefully fit the blue bottom and use the i-Press Burnisher to press all sides to complete

FINISHED

You can also make some taller by attaching the blue pants lower on the yellow box. Check out the video at the top for details.

There are a lot of variations you can add to these characters. Try making one eye, or eyes looking to the side, and add funny eyelids. These are sure to please the little minions in your life.
