Assembly overview

1. Choose A4 or US Letter and print BOTH template pages, single-sided at 100% / Actual Size. Disable Fit to Page; measure the 50 mm line. Color before cutting. Cut A / B / W1 / W2 / L / T on their solid outlines. Copy 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 onto the WHITE backs before cutting. Use paper glue, clear tape, scissors and soft filling.
2. B stays PRINTED side down. Keep both 6 mm attachment tabs FLAT; the dashed tab boundary is a glue limit, not a fold. Glue the WHITE underside of each tab onto the WHITE inside of B. Place the tab tops 6 mm below B's highest point; L is 14 mm left of the centerline, T 14 mm right. Tab widths: L 8 mm, T 6 mm. Reinforce each with a short tape strip crossing 3 mm of the tab and 3 mm of B. The leaf and tendril extend above B and face the same way as A.
3. Dry-fit BOTH W1 and W2 around B. Follow every curve. Glue the PRINTED W1 J under the WHITE start of W2 at mark 2, up to the dashed stop. Then glue W2 J under the WHITE start of W1 at mark 0. Each J overlaps 8 mm; it is extra to the usable perimeter. One pair makes ONE body.
4. Lay B PRINTED side down. Match the numbers after flipping B and set the wall loop onto its edge. Use small clear-tape pieces to bridge the OUTSIDE corner: about 5 mm on the wall and 5 mm on B. Slit only the free half of the tape at tight curves; never cut the panel. Turn the empty shell to press all seams. Finish the entire B perimeter before filling.
5. Keep B down and the whole A opening facing upward. Add loose soft filling below the rim. Keep the edge clean. Place A PRINTED side up, match 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 and tape the full outside perimeter as before. Do not push A into the shell or stretch a wall. If a seam pulls open, remove some filling and re-tape. Faces and surface patterns are printed details.
