as Christmas is on the way I have a little gift for you. It´s a jumping Jack, or better say jumping Jack Jack?
This Jack might not be a typical Christmas theme and gift, and probably not suitable for everybody,
but I hope that some of you [those with black humour ;)],will have fun with this bad ass Jack.
Please click on the pic above to find a high resolution picture, which you can safe to your computer and
print out. The size of the picture is 10x15cm, best printed on heavyweight paper 300g
(I used Hahnemühle Fineart Inkjet Photo Cards, which are exactly that size) or on normal paper,
that you should glue to cardboard before cutting out the pieces.
Below is the instruction (click on picture for higher resolution)

Materials you need: scissors, a hole puncher (or any other tool to make the holes),
strong thread, 4 pearls or 2 split pins, sticky tape
This is the back of my Jack to give you a better idea of the "how to", in combination
with the instruction picture.
Feel free to make as many Jacks as you like, for yourself or for a handmade Christmas gifts for hard-boiled
friends or family :)
Have fun!

This is great! I was just trying to figure out how to make one with paper and the pearls is the answer. Jumping Jack is great:) Thanks.
Hi Lizette,you´re welcome. Could you please let me know if you are able to safe the high res.pic to your computer? I just changed the license settings of these pics and hope now that it works. Thank you!
What about jumping jack Mack (after Mack the knife)?!
@jfidz: yes, another evil character. While making this one I had "Jack the ripper" in mind.
'Jack the Ripper' zum Weihnachtsfest - auf die Idee muss frau erst mal kommen ;)
Vielen, vielen Dank für diesen genialen 'Hampelmann'. Ich weiß zwar nicht, ob ich ihn umsetzen werde, aber ich denke darüber nach, ob es für jemanden in meinem Bekanntenkreis (oder für's Büro ;) nicht eine nette Idee wäre...

Love it, it's great, thank you.
He's so fun, in a dark way. I know he's got that knife hidden behind his back, but it still makes me giggle to see it come out. :-)
Oh I love it and i'll try for my nephew!
Thank you! Tara is the printer boss, I'll ask her very if nice if she possibly has the time to print it for me. Time to do things for mum is rare if you are 15 :) She could make me a perfect x-mas gift with it ;)
Your magazine will be send tomorrow.
Oooh, I love puppets ! Thank you !

Love the "dark" sense of humor. ;-)
