Axolotl Paper Squishy

Assembly overview

1. Print and count. Print both sheets at 100% / Actual Size, not Fit to Page. Check the 20 mm square. Cut 2 bodies, 2 walls, 2 tails, 4 feet and 6 gills.
2. Pre-fold the body tabs. Fold body tabs toward their plain backs. Curve the walls gently; do not fold JOIN ends. Fold accessory roots in steps 6-7. Do not cut internal decoration.
3. Join ONE body ring. Glue W01 JOIN B behind the start B of W02. Glue W02 JOIN A behind the start A of W01. Each overlap is 8 mm. Let the joins set.
4. Attach the front. Keep FRONT toward B01. Align A at the head and B at the bottom. Glue the printed faces of folded B01 tabs to the plain inside of the wall.
5. Back, fill, then seal. Attach B02 to the BACK edge; leave its four F tabs unglued. Lightly fill through that seam. Glue those same tabs to close it. Let dry.
6. Make the flat tail. Put T01 and T02 white sides together. Match the mirrored edges; glue only the tail body. Keep both root tabs free, then fold them apart.
7. Attach the flat accessories. Tail: fold roots toward their printed faces; glue WHITE backs to T01 (FRONT) and T02 (BACK). Feet/gills: fold roots toward white; glue PRINTED faces to matching F/G marks.
8. Check and let dry. Count three gills and two feet on each side, plus one flat tail. Only the body is filled. Let all joints dry fully before gently squeezing.
