Here’s how

STEP 1 Draw characters on brown paper in pencil using the template on page 2 (you may need to tape a couple of sheets together).

STEP 2 Trim Corflute sheet to about 225cm wide x 125cm high with scissors. Mark a fold line 50cm in from each end on the back for the side pieces of the booth.

STEP 3 Transfer characters to Corflute using chalk, centring them between the fold lines for the side pieces.

STEP 4 Use paint and textas to fill in colours, mark outlines and draw the eyes. Leave to dry.

STEP 5 Cut out the mouth with a utility knife. Secure broom or mop handles to inside corners with cloth tape and sit in pebble-filled buckets to stabilise booth.
