Time: 25 minutes

• Regular paper or cardstock
• Scissors or craft knife
• Glue
• Pencil

1. Print out your princess on regular paper or cardstock. Cut out each piece with a craft knife or scissors. Do not cut along the dashed lines -- this is where you will fold the paper.
2. Line up Tiana's back with her torso and glue them together so that the design is now two-sided. After the glue has dried, fold the bottom part of Tiana's torso towards you along the blue dashed line. Then, fold Tiana's face away from you along the dashed line across her shoulders.
3. Take Tiana's chest piece and fold along each dashed line. Make each fold away from you. Glue the G tab and F tab to the back, white side of Tiana's chest.
4. Spread glue on the H tab of Show White's chest and press it into place on the H area on Tiana's torso. Make sure her shoulders are lined up correctly.
5. After the glue dries, add glue to the I, J, K, and L tabs and press them into place. Hold the pieces together until the glue dries. You may need to use a pen or pencil inside her chest area to position the tabs just right.
6. Fold each of Tiana's arms and glue them so that the design is two-sided. Make sure they are lined up before the glue dries. Attach the arms to each side of Tiana's body under each shoulder by gluing the E tab to the E area and D tab to the D area.
7. Cut slits in the top of the skirt opposite of where you fold each A tab. Fold each of the dashed lines at the top of the skirt and each A tab away from you. Starting from left to right with the blue side of the skirt facing you, glue each A tab to the back of the skirt piece next to it to create pleats.
8. When you are finished gluing the A tabs you may find it easier to glue the C tab to the inside of the skirt before gluing the final B tab pleat.
9. Finally, attach Tiana's completed torso to her skirt by gluing the white side of the tabs at her waist to the top of the skirt over the areas labeled K and L. The bow on the skirt should be on Tiana's front left side.

Cutting should be done by an adult.
