Assemble The Punch &
Judy Theater (old style) |
|
1.
Crease Fold Lines
Use a fine edged ruler to fold
against. This ensures clean accurate creases.
If you are unsure of
yourself and want a practice piece first, merely
trace the unit on plain paper before cutting pieces.
Make a practice unit with the plain trace. |

|
2.
Main Theater Piece
This is how the main
theater piece should look after creasing all
fold lines. |

|
3.
Glue Decorative Panel
Glue back-to-back the
decorative panel on the top of the theater. |

|
4.
Glue Tabs
Glue the four red tabs to
the interior of the theater box. |

|
5.
Theater Backing
Fold the four backing tabs forward. Glue the green
grass tab to the inside floor of the theater. See
next photo. |

|
6. Close Up the Back
Apply glue to the back sides of
the remaining tabs. Slide backing into place. Please
note that the backing is cut to the exact size of
the opening, but seems too large. So adjust
position carefully before pressing glued surfaces
together. |

|
7. Press Tabs
Use a cotton swab to press the
tabs securely. |

|
8. Glue Back Panel
Place a thin coat of glue to
the back of the theater. Don't use too much glue,
for over-saturation will cause the backing to warp.
A little warping is expected until the theater is
complete dry. |

|
9. Adhere back Panel
Carefully position the Punch
and Judy panel to the back of the theater. |

|
10. Press Backing
Place the theater down on a
firm surface. Use a cotton swab and press down on
the backing to make it nice and smooth. |

|
11. Place Puppets
Fold puppet base forward. Place
a bit of glue to the under side of the base. Use a
pair of tweezers to position puppets.
