House for cat – tutorial:
The tent structure for cat – cut the hangers:
Cut both ends wavy.
Structure of the House of the cat – shaping of hangers:
Shape the hangers so that they look like the above. Try to smooth them out evenly. The goal is that the two curves go gracefully from one corner to the other of your piece of cardboard.
You can also strengthen the cardboard with tape. Attach tape around the edges for more stability. What is really needed if you use a piece of cardboard with an inside fold.
The ground of the shelter for cat – drill a hole in each corner:
You can use the tip of the hanger to make the holes in each corner.
Make sure your holes are less than 1/2″ on each side and they are not too large.
Assembly of the structure – paste two hangers together:
Cross the two hangers together in their environment and make sure that all ends touch the surface on which you are working. Glue them together so that they do not move.
Push the ends into the holes you made in the corners of your cardboard.
Niche cat – finishes:
Bend the ends and glue
Fold each end of at least 1″ below the cardboard so that it lies against the bottom of the carton. Glue the ends flat on the cardboard. Make sure it is stuck so that the ends don’t cling to the T-shirt when you shoot!
Check that everything is aligned
At this point, you can bend the wire so that it is perfectly put together. You can use the pliers if you need to recover a little structure.
Create the tent to chat – place the t-shirt:
Pull the shirt on the structure of the cabin and position it so that the neck hole is on the front middle of the structure and the bottom of the T-shirt is penny structure, at the level of the cardboard.
Return all so that the bottom is facing you and the hole facing up.
Fold the excess of the T-shirt and tighten until the neck hole is tight on the structure. Keep all with safety pins. Then place the sleeves and tighten well. Pins – the.
