Step 4 Glue the strips to the bat board

Following your pattern with the curled (or folded depending on your design) pattern, carefully glue one edge of the strip and fix it to the bat so that it stands up right off the surface. It's quicker than it looks and if you get the whole glue gun thing just right, the strips stick in place almost immediately that they touch the surface, so it is worth curling the strips to make sure that they in the right shape as you put them down, because it is almost impossible to reposition, and even if you do, you leave unsightly marks all over the bat board, and you'll want that to be as neat and tidy as possible later.
