-
- STEP 121 > Align your ruler with the 2 marks and draw a line with your pencil all the way across your foamcore surface.
-
- STEP 122 > Now you want to measure 20.5 cm on the top and bottom of your 15 cm strip.
-
- STEP 123 > Use your ruler to align your 2 markings and trace a line with your pencil.
-
- STEP 124 > Time to cut, align your ruler with the first cutting guide line, if you plan making more than 1 then cut ALL the way through like I did. If you are just making the 1, then you can just cut only your 20.5 cm portion.
-
- STEP 125 > After your 15 cm strip is cut, you can aligh your ruler with the 2nd cutting guide line and cut all the way trhough with your X-acto knife
-
- STEP 126 > All the pieces you need are now cut.
-
- STEP 127 > Just as we did with the Small Round Wall Panel - you want your half circles to be glues on the TOP of your base as you see on the left, NOT on the side like in the right image.
-
- STEP 128 > Also BEFORE YOU GLUE - FIND YOUR CORRECT SIDE. The half circle aligns perfectly with the 15 cm top and bottom.
-
- STEP 129 > If you go to glue it to the wrong side, you will see there is a huge gap there. You DON'T want to glue here by mistake.
-
- STEP 130 > When ready apply a line of hot glue at the bottom edge of one of your half circles.
-
- STEP 131 > Align it with the edge of the base as much as possible and press down.
-
- STEP 132 > Before the hot glue cools down and hardens, flip your piece and make sure the half circle is aligned properly - centered - on both sides.
-
- STEP 133 > As well as flush to the edge as possible so that when you move your finger from the top to the bottom you don't feel a bump at the seam.
-
- STEP 134 > Once the hot glue has hardened you can move on to the other half circle and repeat the same steps.... Line of hot glue along the flat edge.
-
- STEP 135 > Carefully press down.
-
- STEP 136 > Make sure it is centered and flush with the base edge.
-
- STEP 137 > And 90 degrees or as close as possible. At this point when the hot glue is completely cooled down - 30 or 40 seconds, you can flip your shape upside down and rock the half circles back and forth as you did the small ones to smooth out your circle cut edges.
-
- STEP 138 > Now to attach the beam support. Squeez a small amount of hot glue on BOTH SIDES of your beam.
-
- STEP 139 > Insert it between your 2 half circles. You may want to angle it slightly as you push down and then turn it like a door key until it reaches it's proper position.
-
- STEP 140 > Make sure the ends are centered and flush at the top.
