Here is the printout on my pre-cut piece of trupan (already on the correct size of the final book) just for a final size check:

I sprayed the whole thing with whatever color I had near:

And then I lifted the paper and had a perfect mark to cut out the trupan.

Here is the coper hand ready to go on top of the trupan part:

And finally, here is the trupan hand, covered with the copper sheet (u used ).
