Different ways to glue the thin card

Refer to the glossary for the terms used

- How to glue the thin card on a structure with flat sides (a square box for example)?

For the first side, take the exact measurements, transfer them to the thin card, cut out and glue.

Do this for the sides facing each other and then the others.

- How to glue a thin card on a structure with open angles (box with more than 4 sides)?

If your thin card is long enough, it is best to cut a strip that can go all around the structure in order to hide the open angles in which you have slipped a piece of string (see Fold and Glue section).

You can also use this technique for very small 4-sided structures.

- How to glue a thin card on an irregularly shaped structure?

Example of a shape requiring drawing the contours.

- How to glue a thin card on a rounded structure?

Measure the area that needs to be covered. Cut a strip slightly larger than your measurements. Glue your structure and then glue the card by wrapping it gently around the structure without pressing too hard to avoid "waves".
Depending on the size of the structure, you can glue it as you go along.
