Step 9Join the Skirt to the Domes
This is the tricky bit.
I put the domes and the flat part on an ironing board and a chair to hold it at the right height.
Then, get someone to help you here, with one person pushing the pin into the two parts that need to be joined, with the other person sitting or laying inside the cone of silence, holding the plastic out so that the pin can in fact be pushed through, and when inserting the split pin, which they then spread.
Put pins in every few cm around the perimeter until the assembly process is complete.
Sorry about the confusing image. I didn't take photos when building the cone of silence, and it got a bit damaged after I used it on the church camp I originally made it for. But what you can see here is the dome attached to the flat bit and the skirt. You can see where the tab at the bottom of each dome segment joins to the skirt by simple overlap and split pin join. You will want at least 2 or 3 split pins per dome segment to hold it firmly.
