3. Tape cut- out sections to matching letter sections. Do not flip! Keep letters face up. Use tiny pieces of tape to join. 4. Trace your pattern in the middle of a sheet of paper. |
5. Rotate the pattern so that it fits into the side of the newt already traced, like a puzzle piece. Trace again.
6. Continue rotating and tracing until sheet is filled, even those whose edges extend off the paper.
7. Decorate with eyes, stripes, etc.
