⇒ Step 3.Cut out the template with scissors or a modeling knife (scalpel). Alternatively, you can skip step 2: place the sheet with the template on a sheet of colored paper, attach it along the edges with tape and immediately cut out the figure according to the template, without redrawing it.
⇒ Step 4. Bend the workpiece along the dotted lines.
⇒ Step 5. Apply glue to area A (following the template). Glue A to B.
