Cutting (Out) Corners-- Fun-A-Day 2017, Day 2

Today was cardboard cutting day. I cut out 9x9 in squares which took a while because I needed 15 pieces and I don't often work with cardboard. It was tricky getting a clean straight cut and to be honest I'm sure some of the pieces came out kind of wonky. I hope once they're all assembled, painted, and covered by all the landscape pieces that any wonky edges won't be noticeable.


I taped together 3 pieces to illustrate how the shape of the dioramas I'll be making. Once I've painted the cardboard I'll be gluing them with a hot glue gun which will be much sturdier than a few strips of tape! 

 The size looks like it will work okay as I can fit a lot of felted creatures in the space, but I will have to be very purposeful as to how I size the props and landscape items and where I place them in order to maximize the use of space. 


My plan for tomorrow is to start painting! 

Cheers,
Filipa
