So the first thing we're going to do is take our round shape, we're using the plate and
we're going to put it on the cardboard and we're going to trace around the cardboard
to give us a perfect circle and this will be the head of our paddle. Now the paddle
is going to need a handle as well but we don't have to worry about that so much, we don't
need to take a shape to make the handle of the paddle because basically we can just after
we have our circle which is the more important part to have a nice round shape. After that,
we can just go ahead and add on with our pencil the shape of a handle and it doesn't really
need any kind of outline to it, we can do that free hand. Now we don't want the head
of the paddle to be too big because if the paddle itself gets too big it's going to bend
too easily and it's, we want it to be a little bit sturdy and that's also the reason why
we're going to be using two layers so the exact layer, the shape of the paddle that
we cut out now we're going to after we cut it out we're going to lay it again across
the cardboard to give us the same shape a second time and we'll attach those two together
that will give is much more sturdy paddle. And that's also the reason why when you make
the outline of the plate or whatever you're using for your circle that you should do it
at the outer edge of the cardboard so that will give you enough room to make it again
on the other side of the cardboard. So you should keep in mind that your going to need
to cut out two shapes, outlined shapes of the paddle when doing this step. So now I've
shown you how to outline and create a paddle on the cardboard and get it ready for cutting.
