Tools for Assembling Paper Mini’s Kit:
Metal straight-edge (ruler).
Make fold lines by pressing against the edge of the ruler.
White craft glue that is a
“quick grab” “clear dry” type of glue.
Tweezers
X-acto blade tool and fresh
blade
A true cutting mat
cotton tipped swab
Small artist brush with which
to paint on glue
Small piece of aluminum foil to squeeze work glue onto.
This will act as your glue pot
Scissors
Small detailing scissors,
a.k.a. as embroidery snips

1.
Cut out pieces and then fold tabs. See "Ann's Tool
Box" to see how to make a good folding device.
Get a good curve on the
cylinder by first wrapping piece tightly around a
shaft such as a paint brush handle. You will see why
in step 3.
Glue side tab.
If you are unsure of
yourself and want a practice piece first, merely
trace the unit on plain paper before cutting pieces.
Make a practice unit with the plain trace.
2.
Place glue to base circle and adhere to the tabs.
Repeat for top circle.
3.
Here is the top circle. Note the sharp corners. That
is because I forgot to get a good curve on the paper
before assembly.
