Step 1:
Download and print the crab template. Select relatively thicker colored craft papers for this project. Trace the template patterns onto the selected craft papers and cut them out using scissors. Use a sharpie to draw eyes on the eye-base cutouts.
Step 2:
Attach the eye base cutouts to the round part of the eye socket cutouts.
Step 3:
Take the big round cutout and fold it in half to create the body base of the crab.
Step 4:
Attach the narrow ends of the eye sockets to the closed end of the half-folded round paper.
Step 5:
Slightly open the half-folded round paper. Glue the two larger arm cutouts near the closed side of its inner surface; on both sides.
Step 6:
Fold the paper back to its previous position, securing the arms in place.
Step 7:
Take the smaller feet cutouts and apply a small amount of glue to their inner ends.
Step 8:
Attach them to the back side of the folded round paper on both sides.
Step 9:
Attach 3 feet on both sides, below the claw-arms.
Step 10:
Attach blush cutouts on the cheek parts of the crab and use a sharpie to trace a mouth-line to complete the craft.
