Building your model

 * Step One: Draw a design
 * Step Two: Create a paper model (write pros /cons and redesign as needed)
 * Step Three: Take pictures of your paper model from multiple angles (top, side, front, back, bottom)
 * Step Four: Write an analysis of your design - what looks good? what concerns you? where might you need reinforcement? etc...

Actual Construction

 * Step Three: Referencing your model, Draw your design TO SCALE (think 1/2 or 1/4 scale based on the size of your furniture) and determine how much cardboard you will need
 * Step Four: Collect cardboard
 * Step Five: if you are layering cardboard to increase strength (gluing several layers together), do so now and allow the layers to dry
 * Step Six: Draw your design FULL SCALE on your cardboard and cut it out - **//be as economical as possible,//** you should have very little wasted cardboard!
 * Step Seven: Assemble your furniture
 * Step Eight: Weight test (about 200 pounds)
