Materials Needed

2. Cut another piece of similar width but a few centimeters longer, and place it beneath the previous one with approximately one centimeter of spacing between each piece

3. For the sides, cut two rectangular pieces of the same width as the previous ones, but with a height equal to the combined height of the two small cardboard pieces placed one beneath the other

4. Position both side pieces on either side of the aligned small pieces, ensuring their top and bottom edges are aligned, with approximately one centimeter of spacing at the lateral joints

5. Tape both the front and back sides of the three junctions of the main piece with the surrounding pieces, both sides and the bottom edge
