Fold an A4 piece of card in half. Enlarge template by 400 per cent. Cut out two ears, two arms and two legs from printed wrapping paper or origami paper. Cut the dress from thin card and glue to reverse of printed paper.

Cut out round card. Position pieces on the folded card. Glue the arms and legs in place first, then the dress, then the ears. Roll a piece of tissue paper into a ball and flatten slightly. Glue in place for the head. Glue two small beads to the head for eyes and two to the dress for buttons.

Origami paper, available from art shops. Floral wrapping paper, Cath Kidston (0845 026 2440)
