How to do it
1. Measure and cut out a 18 x 30cm piece of design paper.
2. Make score lines: Fold the paper in half lengthwise. Unfold.
3. Fold the paper in half widthwise.
4. Fold the paper at an angle down over the middle of the top half lengthwise. Unfold again and repeat on the opposite side. Unfold again to a flat piece of paper - now with score lines to work from.
5. From each of the long sides of the paper, push towards the middle.
6. At the top a triangle has now appeared. Underneath are the two sides from the long sides of the paper. These are now referred to as 'flaps'. Push everything flat.
7. Slightly lift one flap and fold it from the the back using the score lines as shown.
8. Repeat on the opposite flap.
9. Measure the width of the clothes peg and cut a notch as shown.
10. Attach the folded wings between the legs of the clothes peg. Tie a piece of string for hanging around the knob at the top of the clothes peg.
