Arched paper tunnel / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Choose the exact edition first. Its preview, pieces, paper size and instructions belong together; no physical fit or assembly approval is implied.

Curve the roof across the arc direction

The roof rectangle represents half a cylindrical surface. Its curved direction is longer than the visible opening width; folding it along the center would make the wrong cross-section.

Use the end arches as shape guides and keep the base flat. This small display model is not a toy-vehicle clearance or support guarantee.

Inside this edition

Instruction pages

A 60 mm-long half-cylinder paper tunnel with a 30 mm radius, two end arches and a flat display base.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print the matching paper edition at actual size (100%). Measure the printed 50 mm line before cutting. The screen preview is not a measurement test.
  3. Cut the curved-roof rectangle, two end frames and base. Keep the roof attachment tabs and frame feet.
  4. Curve the roof gently across its 94.25 mm arc-length direction; do not crease it into a triangular roof.
  5. Fold the side attachment tabs outward and glue them to the two parallel guide lines on the base, 60 mm apart.
  6. Attach one end frame at each end, using its feet on the base. The 30 mm-radius arch is a geometric guide, not a clearance guarantee.
  7. Allow it to dry without squeezing the roof. This is a lightweight display model, not a toy-vehicle fit specification or load-bearing tunnel.
Printing and use notes

The dimensions describe the flat pattern and fold lines, not guaranteed internal capacity.

Physical printing, fit and assembly have not been tested. Make a scrap-paper trial before using special stock.

This is a decorative or organizational paper project, not protective shipping packaging, food-contact material or a load-rated container.
