How to Make a Fireman Template Craft

Make a fireman template out of cardboard.

If you have children who love firetrucks and fire personnel, then create a craft template out of cardboard that features a firefighter. You can save the cardboard template for future craft projects. By making the template with a sturdy material such as cardboard you will be able to use the template over and over again. Use the template to make paper firefighters to hang on a holiday tree or to paste on the front of a binder or journal.

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Printer
• Computer paper
• Scissors
• Shoebox
• Pencil
• Cutting mat
• Enclosed razor blade pen

Instructions

1. Print a free firefighter image or piece of clipart from a website such as Knowingtheworld.com using your printer and computer with Internet access.

2. Cut out the firefighter image using a pair of scissors.

3. Flatten a shoe box, turn it over so that the plain cardboard side faces you and cut off the sides so that you only have one flat section remaining. Place the cardboard piece on a flat, firm workspace.

4. Place the fireman cutout on top of the cardboard. Trace the cutout with a pencil.

5. Place the cardboard on a cutting mat. Cut out the inside of the fireman with an enclosed razor blade pen. This pen gives you the flexibility to make precise cuts within the fireman tracing. Make sure you do not place your fingers near the blade as you cut out the firefighter. When you are done, you will have a fireman template stencil.
