Folding paper Before cutting out the parts, use a ruler and exhausted pen (a pen that has run out of ink)
to score along the fold lines. Cut the parts out roughly first, then cut carefully along the
scissors lines after you have folded them. If you cut them out before folding them it may be
difficult to fold the edges neatly.
Try it in the margin first, to test how hard you should press with the pen.

Cutting out Use the base of the blade when cutting. Take care not to use the entire blade down to the tip,
as this makes it more difficult to control the cutting direction.
with scissors

Curving paper Turn the paper over and place it in the palm of your hand. Apply pressure to the rod and
move it left and right to curve the paper.

Applying glue Use some scrap paper to create a pallet and spatula for the glue. This will ensure that you
don't use too much glue, and allow for a clean finish.

Gluing For parts that are glued together, place them between sheets of paper after gluing and then
pile something heavy like books on top. This will ensure a neat, flat finish.
