How I Created a Life Size Cardboard Cutout of Sofia The First

Saturday, 13 June 2015

My little Izzy is turning six soon and she requested a Sofia the First version of 'pin the tail on the donkey' for her birthday party.  I decided to go that extra mile and make it a life size printable cardboard cutout model.

How to make your own life size Sofia



Download and save the large life size printable design of Sofia the first PDF
Open the PDF file and click print, this will open the print options.
In page sizing and handling click poster, change tile scale to 400% (see image below)

Once you've set the above options, click print.  You will get some blank pages, but don't panic they can be re-used.  You should now have 17 pages of the Sofia design.

Trim each sheet if they have the borders and put together like a jigsaw.  You could tape them all together to make a poster of Sofia, but I glued the templates to a large piece of card.  Once dry I cut around Sofia using scissors

If you plan to use this as a Sofia version of 'pin the tail on the donkey' you could do 'pin the amulet on Sofia' or 'pin the tiara on Sofia' but my Izzy wanted 'pin the Clover on Sofia', so it's up to you.

Hope you found this helpful and if you need any more help or advice please leave a comment below.

Enjoy.
