| Instructions for creating a sculpture out of my metal Business Card. |
Please Note before you begin:
1) The connections on this small sculpture
are thin and thus it can only be bent into the
sculpture once, further bending will result in
failure of the connections
2) A tweezer is the only tool you will need for
the construction
3) There are two pointed pieces on the inside
of the card base, be careful as these are
sharp
4) It is important to follow the steps below
for best results
