Attaching the models
Make small holes strategically using a needle. Then use nylon fishing line to attach the models to the stand. This image shows how I did it to the Penguin, Dragon and Chinchilla:
Paper sizes
Stand: 12.5cm x 12.5cm
Dragon: 20cm x 20cm
Chinchilla: 20cm x 20cm
Penguin: 14cm x 14cm
For the money cat/bunny/dog you can figure out how to make the holes easily. Here are my suggested paper sizes (for the same 12.5cm x 12.5cm base):
Money Cat: 15cm x 6.5cm
Money Dog: 20cm x 8.3 cm
Money Bunny: 20cm x 8.3 cm
