Let's get started!
STEP 1: Let's first get everything we need..
STEP 2: Let's take a paper and fold it into half (lengthwise).
Once again, this time do it width wise.
The paper would now have 4 sections on it.
STEP 3: Let's cut them out using a scissor/ruler.
Do it for all of your A4 sheets.
STEP 4: Let's take one of the paper piece and put a pencil at the longer side of it and start rolling the paper over it.
STEP 5: Tape it at both the ends and middle so that its secured.
STEP 6: Let's make battens!
Roll the paper over pencil, but this time put the pencil on the shorter side of the paper piece.
Let's make 6 battens in this manner.
STEP 7: After making the longerons and battens, take the corner fittings cutout and cut the individual corner fitting and make holes where marked.
Step 8: Take one of the corner fitting and bend it as shown and labelled. Then stick it to one of the sides of a longeron.
Do it for the other side, and then the other two longerons as well.STEP 9: Next, let's take a long thread and pass it through a corner fitting and a batten.
Repeat the same process thrice.
Tie a knot to the thread with the last corner fitting so that it doesn't move.
STEP 10: Now take another thread and pass it through the unused corner fittings of the same longerons and 3 new battens.
Tie them up.
STEP 7: Pull the thread where necessary and make adjustments so that the structure can stand on its own.
