Finished product

By weaving the paper strips, a sphere with diameter 200mm can be obtained as in the following picture.

How to make

1. Preparation

Kit contents

• There are 40 paper strips (= 2colors × 10shapes × 2sets).
• I have packed them as carefully as possible, but if some of them are missing, please contact @Hyrodium.

↑2colors × 10shapes. There are two sets of these strips.

What you need to prepare

• Wood glue
  • The glue is easier to work with if it is not quick-drying.
• Thin needle
  • Used for gluing for tiny space.
  • A toothpick is useful, but a metal needle is better.

Things that not required but better to havel

• Styrofoam sphere with diameter 200mm
  • Used in finishing process.
• Fixing arm
  • Used in finishing process.

2. Assembling

Assemble from the largest paper strips.
Tips: Gluing entire margin is not recommended. Please add the wood glue to the center of the margin.

Gluing for 400 points will be a little hard work.
Please take care of yourself and stretch as you work.

3. Finishing

Cut the styrofoam shpere and place it on the arm.
This jig is not required for the assembly process, but this helps for better finishing.
Glue the gaps to match this jig.

Well done!
