Assembling
1:The piece that has the part of the wheel that is not completely formed, join it with the top part of the carousel.
2:Since the two parts are glued, now assemble the inside base of the carousel, folding the double lines and gluing them.
3:When you have the inside piece glued, it is time to glue it to the carousel part.
4:When you have the base and the inside piece of the carousel, now it’s time to finish assembling the wheels, aligning them very well so that it can be seen that it is only 1 wheel.
And ready, you can now view the carousel. As I said, I could have decorated it with some color to give it more life. There was also a piece that I didn’t use, which was the top part, just because I didn’t like how it looked covered, but you can use acetate to cover it.
