Use vellum bristol to create a sculpture!

Steps

• Step 1
  With a hammer, pound a nail into wood plaque. The nail will anchor the sculpture and can be placed in any location, at any angle, you desire.
• Step 2
  Take a 9x12" sheet of bristol and cut it into six 2x9" pieces. Measure and mark out 1/2" increments on the 2x9" pieces, as shown. Next score the bristol with ball point pen and ruler by making three lines on the 1/2" increments. Using the score lines, fold into a triangle shape and glue.
• Step 3
  Glue the first full-length rod to the nail located on the wood plaque. Allow glue to dry.
• Step 4
  Cut the additional rods into a variety of lengths and glue into place to finish the sculpture. Let glue dry. Paint the wood plaque with black acrylic.
• Optional Tip 1
  Paint some of the bristol rods with gouache to add a vibrant pop of color to the sculpture.
