Step 8Divide Outer Rim Into Sections
In order to make the final product look nice, we need to cut little triangles out of the edge of the rubber. This is to create small "sections" to be folded over the plate, so that you don't see the folds on the outside of the finished product.
I decided to go with 12 sections. First, find the center of the circle. Then, divide the plate into 12 sections using a ruler, and draw the lines to the outside of the rubber, as in the second image. Being as anal retentive as I am, I actually used a protractor to make sure the sections were equal, but that's not really necessary.
Once you've got the lines drawn, cut a small triangle out of the edge at each one, using the line for the tip of the triangle. See the third image for how "far down" to cut... I went just shy of the plate circle. If you cut too far, you will see all those cut-lines on the top of the cymbal when you're all done.
