A card and gift in one!
1. Start constructing your CleverKit™. Screw a hex nut onto the hex bolt all the way to the top. Measure and cut 2 x 20cm pieces of red yarn. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Tie the centre of one piece of yarn onto the hex bolt.
4. Screw the wing nut with split ring (wings up) onto the hex bolt until it reaches the cape. Screw on the next two hex nuts so that they are touching. Tie the centre of the remaining piece of red yarn onto the hex bolt. Screw on the last wing nut (wings down). 2. To make the cape, measure and mark 5cm in from each side of the felt sheet corner. Using a lead pencil, join both marks to form a triangle. Cut along the drawn line.
5. On an A4 sheet of coloured cover paper, measure out a piece that is 95 x 138mm then cut it out. Apply glue to the back of this piece and attach it to the front of the card. Allow to dry. 3. Fold the triangle in half, then create a small cut at the top part of the fold. Thread the cape onto the hex bolt until it reaches the red yarn piece.
6. Position your man of steel on the front of the card and using a pencil mark out 4 dots, one above each arm next to the body and one above each leg next to the body. Puncture each of these marks with a blunt tip needle. Adult supervision is recommended.
7. Place your man of steel back onto the card. Use the needle to thread one of the yarn strands from the top of your man through the corresponding puncture mark on your card. Repeat with the 3 other strands. Tie the top strands together on the inside of your card. Repeat with the bottom strands. Trim any excess yarn. Glue 2 wiggle eyes to the top hex bolt. Allow to dry. 8. Print and cut out our Father’s Day quote on page 10 and glue it to the front of your card. Allow to dry. Your Dad of Steel Card is now ready to write in and gift!
