Split pins
String
Hole punch
Instructions
Print out template and cut out the skeleton pieces.
Use a hole punch or push a pencil through the holes on the skeleton template.
Place the skeleton template face down. Lift the body piece and slot 4 split pins through the holes of the body facing upwards.
Thread some string (approximately 10cm long) through one of the arm holes and tie a knot to secure it. Once you have tied the knot flatten the split pin to make it secure.
Thread through the other arm and tie a knot. Again flatten the split pin and make sure the string is taut. Trim off any excess string.
Repeat the process on the legs.
Tip: Try and make sure the knot is positioned above the hole - this will make your skeleton dance better.
Attach a piece of string approximately 40cm long to the arms and legs, tying a knot in the middle of both pieces of string as shown.
Attach a piece of string through the hole above the head and hang your skeleton. Pull the bottom string to make it dance.
