Some advice on the steps pictured above:

1. Carefully cut out the template including the card shape and the two scorpion pieces.
   
2. Carefully fold along the dotted lines. Fold both ways so that the bends are flexible. Fold the card shape and open up again.
   
3. Stick the scorpion body to the card. The markings should match up exactly. Don’t use too much glue – you only need a couple of drops.
4. Stick the scorpion’s face (and claw) to its body.
5. That’s it! Now carefully close the card. The scorpion will fold neatly inside.
6. Congratulations. You're ready to POP! Open the card and LOOK OUT!
