From file to finished page
- Cut the shaped main piece, notched backing and centre wrap.
- Curve the left end of the main piece inward to its centre and attach the narrow end behind the middle.
- Repeat with the right end. Keep both rounded loops open rather than sharply creasing them.
- Attach the completed loops to the notched backing, aligning their centres.
- Wrap the narrow centre strip around the join and secure it at the back. Trim only after checking the overlap.
