  • Black marker
  • Scissors

    2. Add stripes, small dots, and swirls to decorate!
    3. Glue down all the paper pieces.
    4. Add “stitches” along all the borders.

    1. Add the laminating sheets over and press smooth.
    2. For the Zero napkin: Unfold the napkin and pinch it at the middle; this will be Zero’s nose.
    3. Tie a rubber band about 3 inches down from that point, or where you want his collar to be placed. Then cover it with a red ribbon.

    1. Cut out two ears from another napkin, and hole punch two pieces from black paper.
