a crease, it weakens the paper.
4 Simplify folding by pre-burnishing
Regardless of whether a mountain fold or a valley fold is required, use a burnishing tool and a ruler to carefully install creases. You may use a stylus, ball-point pen without ink, an awl, a compass, or other burnishing tool to score the paper.
TIP! A burnishing tool is used at a steep angle.
5 Working with glue
Put glue on the tabs to hold the models together.
Instead of applying glue directly from the bottle again and again, it is more convenient to put some glue on a piece of paper and use a toothpick to scoop the glue up for application to the tabs. Spread the glue on the tabs like you would spread butter on toast.
After putting glue onto the tabs, press and hold with your fingers to secure them into place. Use tweezers to grasp and fasten tight corners and areas where your fingers cannot reach.

The assembly of the individual pieces is straightforward, and the repetition will go a long way toward building your paper model-making skills, so this project is a fine choice to begin with. The finished piece will make a handsome display on your shelf or desk, but fun and satisfaction of assembling the finished pieces into a perfect cube will have you reaching for the puzzle again and again.
