Steps
- Step 1Take 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. At the score lines fold.
- Step 2Glue two rods along the 12” edges of a 9x12” piece of bristol board. Cut and glue two rods along the 9” edges to finish the frame. Be sure to cut these rods at an angle so the ends line up with the triangle slope of the 12” rods.
- Step 3Continue cutting rods of varying lengths, and glue them to the bristol board inside the frame to form sections. (Create more rods if necessary.)
- Step 4Paint frame with metallic acrylics and let dry.
- Step 5Cut out the sections of bristol board in between the rods.
- Step 6Cut pieces of cellophane to match the cut-out sections and glue to the back of the frame.
