Place 1 corner of the paper within the L shaped border of the diagonal corner.Place 1 corner of the paper within the L shaped border of the diagonal corner.As shown in this example.

In the image below, you'll notice that the two corners are taped together with two pieces of tape. Each corner meets the other corner's L shaped border without going past it.

Remember, if you let the corners cover or go past the L shaped border, then you might have trouble when you try to tape the next set of corners and may need to start over. 

As shown in this example.When assembling the 4 page Target, we recommend using 2 pieces of tape for each corner.Here is what the target should look like at this stage.

Step 7

Now, please do the same for the other two corners of the paper.

Note: For these two corners, you do not need to fully place them within the L shaped border. Simply have the two corners touch and then tape them in place. This should form a pyramid looking paper shooting target that is now double sided. 

And remember, you can add more tape for extra strength. 

Step 7 - Now, please do the same for the other two corners of the paper. Remember to add extra tape for increased durability.Remember to add extra tape for increased durability.
