Step 2
Make two holes, approximately 1/4 inch apart, near the elbow with a hole punch. Holes must be aligned -- one on top of the other.
Step 3
Cut the pattern out of the cardboard with a pair of scissors, and then cut the pattern in half. Make the cut in the space between both holes on the elbow.
Step 4
Fasten the forearm to the upper arm with a paper fastener. Insert the paper fastener through the holes on both the lower and upper arm; spread the metal prongs of the fastener to secure the cardboard.
Step 5
Move the forearm up and down to give the appearance of a waving cardboard arm.
