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.


This is called a longeron. We have to make two more longerons repeating the same method.


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.
