• The second pattern is a rectangle (7×3 cm) and a hole 4cm from the wide side.
• While the third pattern is the same as the second pattern. But the middle part is hollowed out and on the right side.
• Punch a hole in the bottle cap in the center using a nail.
• Take the bottom of the styrofoam pop noodle which is round in shape. Then make a triangular pattern in the middle and then make a hole.

Assembling a Tripod

• Insert the medium size nail that was provided earlier from the inside until the tip of the nail is embedded in the sandal, later to connect the headset to the tripod leg.
• Insert the tip of the nail into the hole on the bottle cap and insert one more nail into the side hole on the sandal. Its function is to be able to rotate the tripod head smoothly later.
• The tripod head has been assembled, now we will assemble the tripod legs. Take the styrofoam that has been perforated earlier and then add the three 60cm bamboo sticks.
• Take a sandal with a square pattern and then insert the end of the bamboo into the hole that has been made. So that the legs are conical.
• Combine the tripod head with the tripod legs by inserting the nail protruding on the tripod head into the center hole in the slipper on the tripod leg. Make sure there is no rocking circuit. If necessary glue the parts that are felt necessary.
