How to Assemble Your Star Cutout
Step 1: Find a clean, flat surface
Place your packaged cutout on a clean, flat surface with plenty of room to work.
Step 2: Unfold the cutout
Carefully unfold the cardboard cutout.
Step 3: Remove any smaller cutouts
If your product includes smaller tabletop cutouts, gently push them out along the pre-cut edges. Not all models include these.
Step 4: Assemble the tabletop cutout, if included
Push out the tabletop cutout's feet and attach them to its base.
Step 5: Remove the protective backing
Hold your main cutout flat and carefully lift away the protective packaging backing board. The packaging board can be recycled.
Step 6: Open the easel tab
Locate the cardboard support on the back of your cutout and unfold the small tab at the top.
Step 7: Prepare the easel
Fold the length of the easel upwards and push the central D-shaped sections flat against the cutout.
Step 8: Lock the support
Fold the remaining D-shaped sections upwards to secure the easel.
Step 9: Secure the top tab
Fold the top tab down over the easel to hold the support in place.
Your life-size cardboard cutout is now ready to stand and enjoy!
