-Suido Bridge and Surugadai ) : Assembly Instructions

Canon Inc.

You will need

Scissors
Wooden Skewer
Water-based marker (gray, light brown)
Silicon adhesive (clear type)
Modeling tool
Craft mat
(If not available, use several layers of tissue or paper towels stacked together.)

Tweezers (if available)

Assembly Instructions
1. Cut out all pieces from parts A through J.
2. With a marker, color around the edges of the parts you have cut out.
(This will ensure a clean finish.)

3. For the parts that will be on top, curl the edges inwards using the modeling tool.

*How-to-make description for use with 8 materials.

What is a 3D Decoupage?
3D decoupage is a piece of work made with 4 to 10 pictures/print cards of the same kind
by cutting out each element and layering them on top of each other to create a threedimensional picture with more volume. This craft, originated in Europe and perfected in
America, will serve as a lovely decoration if you set it in a frame that has depth.
Warning: This craft requires the use of adhesives, scissors, wooden skewers and other utensils which could be
dangerous to small children. Please be sure to keep them away from children while you work.

4. Use silicon adhesive to attach, making a three-dimensional shape.

(Other types of glue apart from silicon adhesive can be used, but silicon adhesive produces the best results.)
*Apply silicon adhesive to
the wooden skewer by dragging the skewer through it.

5. If you are not using glossy paper, you may like to add some spray-on gloss or varnish
typically used for paper clay, to improve the appearance of your finished product and give
it a ceramic look.
