Christ the Redeemer 3D Paper Craft
Materials
- Christ the Redeemer 3D craft template (Etsy link)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Markers/colored pencils to decorate (optional)
Instructions
First, print out the Christ the Redeemer template. This craft works best when printed on cardstock paper so that it has the structure to stand up when completed.
Next, cut out all of the pieces of the template.
Take the pedestal piece and fold inward along all of the lines.
Glue the pedestal together using the tabs.
Now take the two pieces of the statue and glue them together back to back so that the graphics are on the outside. Avoid gluing the dotted squares at the bottom of the statue.
Fold the bottom squares at the base of the statue out in opposite directions.
Glue the base of the statue to the top of the pedestal.
And that completes your Christ the Redeemer 3D craft!
This 3D paper model is a wonderful way for kids to connect with a world-famous landmark while building their confidence in assembly and construction.
Whether displayed in a classroom or at home, it serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich history and faith that this iconic statue represents.
