Making the Flywheel, when the Instructions said 'cut on the dotted lines' that's what I did. When I made up the 'box' section it was still completely solid and not at all flexible... your meant to cut through the dotted line, from one side to the other. Yes I am that thick ! Note from the picture just how flexible a finished section is.
The 3 finished sections stuck together and wrapped around a cookie jar lid (Oops got got paint on it, sorry mum!) to make it nice and round. The picture shows it with the first of the red edges stuck on the side after the glue had dried.
