Step 2:

Attach the hair cutout on the head cutout, along the top part. Use a Sharpie or permanent marker to draw the eyes on the eye base cutouts.

Step 3:

Attach the ear parts on both sides of the helmet base cutout and attach the 3^rd arch-shaped cutout on the top side of the helmet base.

Step 4:

Attach the helmet glass cutout in the center of the helmet base with glue. Then attach the eye cutouts along the top part of the head, below the hair.

Step 5:

Use a sharpie or permanent marker to draw the nose and mouth of the papercraft astronaut figure and to trace outlines on the helmet parts.

Step 6:

Attach the head pattern on the glass part of the helmet.

Step 7:

Prepare a piece of cardstock paper to cover the outer surface of the empty TP roll for your astronaut craft.

Step 8:

Attach the suit pattern cutouts on the prepared paper.

Attach the boot cutouts on the bottom side of the prepared paper (suit base) and attach the square cutout in the middle of the suit base. Draw buttons on the square piece with a permanent marker.

Step 10:

Cover the empty TP roll with the suit base pattern and use glue to secure it.

Step 11:

Attach the astronaut craft head pattern on the top end of the paper-covered TP roll to complete the craft. Use Sharpies or paper cutouts to add more details if you want to.
