Place your hand on cardboard, trace around it, and carefully cut out the hand shape
Make small folds across each finger where the finger joints would normally bend
Cut short pieces of drinking straw and tape them with gluegun along each finger section to guide the strings
Fix a piece of hard cardboard inside the arm section to make the robotic hand stronger and more stable.
Pass a string through the straw pieces on each finger. Pulling the strings will make the cardboard fingers bend.
