Scissors line Valley fold Mountain fold Cut in line Cut out Glue spot You can give the violin a more "genuine" appearance if you paint the surface after cutting out the brown and black parts. Handy Hint Notation Key 1: Carefully cut out the parts. 2: Make mountain folds and valley folds along the dotted lines, as indicated by the directions. 3: Assemble the parts in the order shown by the numbers on the glue tabs. (Read the assembly instruction for more information.) 4: Attach the parts in order. (Read the assembly instruction for more information.) 5:Your Paper craft model is finished.
