The legs and witches' hat are colored with prisma color pencils.

Assembly:

If you look at my template you can see all the pieces.  The base card is folded on each end ... valley fold, mountain fold. The accordion fold extension which is the mechanism is accordion folded ... valley, mountain fold.  Glue valley fold to first fold of the base card to create the extension.  Adhere the 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" card inside the fold of the extension mechanism with the card going to the inside of the base card.  Adhere the 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" card on top of the first fold of the extension mechanism.  Again with the card to the inside of the base card.  Repeat on the other end of the base card with the extension mechanism and layering cards.  All that is left is decoration the card.
