How to Assemble this Dimensional Paper Accent…

Things You’ll Need:

Additional Supplies (Optional):
These items are purely optional and simply allow you to take the design to the next level!

  • Adhesive foam pieces for extra dimension
  • Ink pads and brushes for shading
  • Glitter
  • Accents such as rhinestones, pearls, etc.

Important Notes:
*The colors and patterns of the pieces will vary from set to set based on paper availability.
*This set contains small pieces! Not intended for use by small children.
*Use ink pads and brushes to lightly shade the pieces in this set before assembling to give the finished design extra dimension.

Let’s Get Started!

Step 1:
Place a shiny wheel piece on top of a black tire piece. Attach with a small amount of glue around the rim. Repeat with the remaining wheel and tire piece.

Place the longer back fender piece on top of one assembled wheel. Attach with a small amount of glue where the pieces meet. Repeat with the remaining wheel and shorter front fender piece.

Step 2:
Glue the motorcycle frame piece on top of both wheels, centering the back pointed end of the frame in the middle of the shiny back wheel and the front tip of the frame in the middle of the shiny front wheel.

Glue the tiny wheel hub pieces on top of the frame to mark the wheel centers, ensuring that the smaller hub piece is used for the front wheel and the larger hub piece is used for the back wheel.

Helpful tip: Use craft tweezers to make picking up and placing these small hub pieces a little bit easier!

Step 3:
Glue the seat piece along the top edges of the back fender and frame pieces.

Glue the gas tank piece along the top edge of the frame piece, just touching the tip of the seat piece.

Glue the shiny exhaust piece along the bottom edge of the frame.

Step 4:
To assemble the engine, place the two larger tapered engine pieces beside each other with a small gap between them. Glue the shorter tapered engine piece on top of the two previous pieces, placing it slightly higher so that it creates a staggered look. Glue the rounded engine piece on bottom of the assembled engine, overlapping the edges slightly.

Glue the engine to the frame so that it fills most of the frame’s largest opening. Ensure the exhaust pipe connects to the engine piece.

Step 5:
Glue the shiny headlight piece at the front of the frame.

Glue two tiny bracket pieces on the frame just below the handlebars. Glue the remaining tiny bracket piece on the frame just above the front fender.

Helpful tip: Use craft tweezers to make picking up and placing these small pieces a little bit easier!
