Hints & Tips

  • Carefully cut around the edges of all the pieces. Accurate cutting means a more professional finish.
  • Pre-fold all the dotted lines with a ballpoint pen and ruler. First, hold pieces up to the light to see a bend line. Draw a small mark on each end (i.e. opposite side that is not seen). Place piece on cutting board and use a ballpoint pen and ruler to redraw the bend line. This creates a pre-fold making it easier, quicker and a lot more accurate to fold on the bend line.
  • Use your glue stick to glue both contact areas first, wait 20 or so seconds, and then firmly press together. Move or slide piece into position for perfection. After a few minutes, firmly apply pressure for a second time to ensure a strong bond.
  • When attaching wheels, ensure that the four wheels sit perfectly flat on a hard surface such as a table.
