Step 2Cutting out the corners
Cut out your patterns.
Score the cardboard on the penciled lines using your scissors. This will give you a much nicer corner. Score along all your drawn lines.
Now fold along all of these lines. Fold them so that the plain brown cardboard is on the INSIDE, not the outside like I have shown in the following pictures (this was a mistake I corrected later). You can use tape to do this, however, REMOVE the tape before spray painting.
Now, glue the inside to secure the two outer edges. Remove the tape. It should stay together without the tape.
It's easiest to glue the other two corners first, like I've shown in the last image. Then glue the remaining flaps. Just fold them down towards the inside until they touch, then glue them together.
Repeat this 8 times.
