3D Decoupage (Cable Car): Assembly Instructions © Yasutomo Itoi

You will need

Scissors Wooden Skewer
Water-based marker (gray, light brown)
Silicon adhesive (clear type)
Modeling tool
Craft mat
(If not available, use several layers of tissue or paper towels stacked together.)
Tweezers (if available)

Assembly Instructions
1. Cut out all pieces from parts A through L.
2. With a marker, color around the edges of the parts you have cut out.
(This will ensure a clean finish.)

3. For the parts that will be on top, curl the edges inwards using the modeling tool.

4. Use silicon adhesive to attach, making a three-dimensional shape.

*How-to-make description for use with 6 materials. (Other types of glue apart from silicon adhesive can be used, but silicon adhesive produces the best results.)

What is a 3D Decoupage? *Apply silicon adhesive to

the wooden skewer by drag-
ging the skewer through it.
3D decoupage is a piece of work made with 4 to 10 pictures/print cards of the same kind
by cutting out each element and layering them on top of each other to create a three-
dimensional picture with more volume. This craft, originated in Europe and perfected in
America, will serve as a lovely decoration if you set it in a frame that has depth.
5. If you are not using glossy paper, you may like to add some spray-on gloss or varnish
Warning: This craft requires the use of adhesives, scissors, wooden skewers and other utensils which could be
dangerous to small children. Please be sure to keep them away from children while you work. typically used for paper clay, to improve the appearance of your finished product and give
it a ceramic look.

7 Attach parts A to C in order. 8 Attach parts D to H in order. 9 Attach parts I to L in order to complete.
*Be careful when applying silicon adhesive to the edges of the
parts, as it tends to ooze out when parts are attached together.
