Macula Art

I came across a website called Macula Art by Christopher Bonnette purely by accident. On his site, there are many paper craft projects that anyone can put together. If you’re a fan of paper art, you should definitely check them out! Here’s the Pegasus paper craft I made…

To start, download the Pegasus paper pattern.

Now gather some scissors, glue, ruler, craft knife, and a glass mat (or a hard surface to work on).

Take your time and trim out all the pieces. You can use a craft knife for the straight parts but most of these edges will be hidden when you put them together. I find that I have more control using a scissor and only using the craft knife for making incisions where scissors can’t reach.

Once you have the pieces, start assembling! I prefer using a glue stick because it dries faster and it’s easier for hard to reach areas.

Assemble the head first, then attach the neck, mane, and horn.

The body should be much easier, with only the tail and wings to attach. Now that you have the head and body, you only have to put the two parts together!

Remember to take your time and make sure you’re having fun! That’s what paper crafts is all about, right? Enjoy!
