How to make
The procedure is as follows.
- Print two types of paper pattern ([sp] on paper, [df] on transparent sheet) and prepare empty cans *, scissors, Sellotape, and so on.
- Divide the pattern df into two (upper: [d], lower: [f]). Please cut the template along the line. sp also has a field for entering a name.
- It is a coffee can for 190 ml. Please remove the lid with a can opener. Be careful not to hurt your hand at the cut.
- Secure the end of the [sp] with cellotape and wrap it on the can.
- Let's paste the border from top to bottom exactly.
- Fix one end of [d] to the can with Sellotape (Align the atomic numbers in order). Please fix from both front and back.
- Wrap around the [sp] in a soft and overlapping manner, align both ends of the [d], and secure with sellotape.
- Fix [f] around [d] in the same procedure as 5-6 (Align atomic numbers in order).
- It's done. Make sure that the atomic numbers are connected from 1 to 118. It is fun to change the color of the pattern.
Coffee can version 2 (for 350 ml cans)
- Please "print all over" with the pattern. The entire template fits on A4 size paper.
- Please wind around a 350 ml can according to "Let's make an element touch (PDF)" below.
