Step 8Adding the Bases

Adding the Bases
ok, were getting there now, thanks for sticking with me!

Picture 1- here we see a nice little army of cardboard shapes from the previous step!

Picture 2- Cut out some teeny little squares, and stick them to your coins/washers and pieces. i found that if you stick the pieces to the coin/washer, then added the squares after it was easier to get a snug fit.

Pictures 3&4- Let the pieces dry over night again, now find yourself a good sharp corner, stick your cutting mat to it, and start taking off that excess around the coins!

An optional step heres it to paint the whole cardboard section of the piece with pva glue, just a coating, not too much - This makes the pieces gold together alot better.
