3D Baby Cot

Well as promised, I have made my 3D Baby Cot!! I appologise for the amount of photos there will be but its easier to show what I am trying to describe, so bare with me as I blab on about how I made it :)

Ok well to start with if you go to my original post here to see the shapes I used, it will be easier than repeating that stage.



CS: Bazzill Basics Juneberry

PP: KAISERscrapbook - Be Mine



So using the "Y" shapes (rectangles) I cut out, I stuck the two pieces of CS & PP together & then proceeded to cut out the 1" sections to create the rungs



 



then with the 2 "D" shapes (cylinders), I didn't attach them together yet as it is easier to work with apart (as I found out the hard way, having to re-cut & start this section again)



 



With scraps of the PP, I cut out some joins to measure the lengths of the sides of the cylinders & also a base stop (at the bottom)



 



turning over this piece, i then tape up the edges to attach the PP



 



 



repeat for the other end of the cot with the other cylinder piece, cutting out a shape for a peek-a-boo spot (such as in this case a heart)



cut out another 2 base stops for the rectangle edges & attach them & then attach the sides of the cots to the joins.



then cut a base card to fit inside the cot, being the width of the cylinder & the length of the rectangle (approx 12cm x 12.5cm)



glue one edge of the card base to the side of the cot (use heavy tape or glue as when it folds, it can come apart if not secured properly)



 



so when it is flat it can go into an envelope for mailing



 





When the base is down, the card becomes 3D:
