Step 9Finish your capcatcher
On both cardboard discs, make a few X cuts it the center for the upright dowel to go through. Cut out ten pieces of cardboard that are 1 by 1 inch square. Glue four of these right next to the center hole on the disc with ropes attached. These will act to keep the disc perpendicular to the dowel. Glue this disc to the upright dowel, leaving about 1/2" of dowel sticking up. Glue the other six cardbaord pieces onto this disc to act as spacers to keep the second disc parallel to the first. Now glue the second disc on top.
The cardboard I used was 1/4" thick, so the total thickness of the cardboard discs with spacers in between was 1 1/2". I cut out some long strips of fabric that were 1 1/2" wide and carefully glued them in place to cover the opening between the two discs.
To finish it off, I made a small carrying loop from some some wire which was glued into a small hole I drilled into the top of the main dowel.
There you are. You're done with your capcatcher!
