STEP BY STEP
How to make it.
Choose and print
Pick one PDF below. Print on A4 at 100% or Actual size. Color the panels before assembly; clear tape over the artwork gives it a smoother surface.
Cut the two panels
Cut around each outside outline. Place the panels back-to-back with their printed sides facing outward. Trim uneven edges so the outlines match.
Tape and fill lightly
Tape the left, right and bottom edges together. Add loosely crumpled tissue in small pieces. Leave plenty of air space so the pouch can compress.
Close the top
Tape the final edge. A tiny untaped gap can let air escape when you press gently. Add more tape if the paper edges start to separate.
A few useful tips
- This is a paper craft rather than a foam toy: it may crease and will not spring back like foam.
- Do not overfill the pouch. Too much tissue makes the seams difficult to close.
- Use the blank snack-pouch label for your own design. The pretend phone is an original generic design without brand logos.
