It may look like I am creating picture frames but theses are in fact structural formers to place inside the scenic base that I am building at the moment and posted about yesterday.
When using large pieces of card to create in effect a large box, they can warp, so there is a need to brace them. I could haver just cut a rectangle of card but that would have been too easy! In addition a rectangle of card would also not be as structural strong as creating a frame made out of three layers of card such as that I have built. I fact I have built three of them so far!
Having built the these frames it was time to fit them to the card sides that I glued the other day, well two of them at least. Glued in place and supported either side by a jar and bottle of Pepsi (usual disclaimer that other makes of drink are available) and weighted on top I have left it all to allow the glue to dry and hopefully that will leave me with a warp free and strong initial structure. If not, then I have some spare picture frames!
