Standing Paper Circus Scene

Roll up! Roll up! Have you ever seen anything like this before? A stand up circus scene made simply from pen and card! It's so simple. But so good looking!

  • This activity is as simple or as complex as you make it! Simply research different images you’d like to draw before you begin.
  • Step 1Draw your design onto your piece of cardboard with pencil.
  • Step 2When you are happy with your drawing, trace it with a marker. Try varying the weights of the markers you use to create interest in your design.
  • Step 3Carefully cut around the shape of your drawing.
  • Step 4Create a stand for your drawing by cutting out a long rectangle from cardboard. Make sure the width is no wider than your drawing.
  • Step 5Fold the cardboard rectangle in thirds to make a triangular stand. Tape to secure.
  • Step 6Tape the stand to the back of your drawing so that it can stand on its own!
