Colour the title pages.

 

 

Draw skulls, skeletons, papel picardo and marigolds that you have been learning about.

Make notes about the festival, altars, and decorations.

 

 

Cut around the outside of the book.

Use a craft knife, or scissors, to also cut along the darker-shaded line in the centre of the book.

 

 

 

You might like to use a ruler and craft knife to lightly score the other lines of the book, so your book creases neatly when you fold it.

 

 

The book is assembled using a French fold technique.

Fold along the long centre line.

Pull out the two central sections.

Press down on all the crease lines to fold all the pages into place.
