(Great Canopy Frames... pg2)


STEP TWO

Coat one side of the tissue thoroughly with gluestick (UHU is recommended) and let it dry completely. Speed up drying with a hairdryer if desired.


STEP THREE

Cut the tissue into strips of desired size for the canopy frame, striving for uniform widths (unless you need differing widths). Also cut triangles & squares for corners and junctions (again, strive for uniformity in dimension).


STEP FOUR

Moisten the strips with water and apply to canopy, glue side down. While wet they are easily repositioned, so don't be shy about moving things around. Re-wet the tissue if necessary. The glue stick adhesive really is easily workable, and takes the pain out of an otherwise difficult job.


STEP FIVE

Apply moistened triangles & squares at junctions of tissue strips to create window corners (see photo). Use a sharpened toothpick to slide them into position. When you're happy with your layout allow everything to dry.


STEP SIX

Seal the tissue in one of two ways:

a) Brush fixative onto tissue, overlapping the edges slightly. Spray a little Krylon into a cup and use a small brush to apply.

b) Paint 2 or 3 coats of Future Floor Finish over the whole canopy. Apply swift, light coats so as not to disturb the tissue.
