The parts you cut will be bangs’ parts when you make ‘Face’ version.

You can cut it however you like.❤

The ear’s parts will be three-dimension when you make ‘Animal Stand’ version.

Be very careful not to cut your fingers, since you have to use a knife!

When you use a square-shape tag, it will be a rectangular one. ★

メWhen you want to write a longer message, you can make it that way.

You can also make a girl’s bun hair, instead of animal’s ears.

And you can just draw hair that you like too, instead of cutting it.

The message memos that flip open that I made are a little unique,

such as pudding, Mt. Fuji, and undies.♪

You can arrange it, drawing various kinds of pictures on it.

If you change the direction, like undies, you’ll have more ways of arrangement too!

You can fold all the letters so easily.

It’s useful because we can never see inside, until you actually see it.
