Are your exams stressing you out? Or are you just looking to procrastinate from that assignment for just five five minutes longer? Why not have a quick art therapy? Pelican has you covered with a super easy pop-up card template you can just cut from the magazine!

What you’ll need:

• The Magazine! • Scissors or anything that works to cut the paper. • Extra paper to stick this template to. • Glue (the good stuff). • Colouring-in pencils (optional).

1. Firstly, give your pelican a life by decorating it and the background. Or be boring and don’t. The pelican will be sad though. 2. After this, fold the paper in half. We added the dotted line in case you have trouble identifying where to fold.

3. Make a single cut with your preferred cutting tool along the small line in the centre. 4. Fold the dotted lines near the cut to form two creases.

5. Unfold the paper. 6. Open the card and push the pop-up areas up and change the direction of the fold to the opposite direction of the folded card, as in the picture.

7. When the card is closed, the back will look like this. Glue a piece of paper on the back (optional). 8. TaDa!! Congratulations – you made it! You now have your own talking pelican pop-up card.
