Four body shapes are built-up of approx. 8 layers of card stock to resemble balsa wood, (model uses 6 kraft and 1 each front & back white cardstock) then fit together with slots or spaces. (Since the fit is intentionally tight, a thickness testing shape and slot are included to create a mock upto determine final number of layers to cut.) Hang as an ornament with twine or ribbon thru the top hole, or use square block stand. Measures approx. 9.5" tall x 6.625" wide x (without stand).
