You can make the base in any size you need, but keep in mind that the rest of the measurements will need to be altered if you change the size of the base.

Place a dot 12 inches (30. 5 cm) from the center point (which is at 4 inches or 10. 2 cm) of the bottom line to create a perfect triangle. You can use a craft knife instead of scissors if the cardboard is stiff and difficult to cut.

Be very careful when using hot glue, as it can burn you. Keep your hands away from the nozzle and the glue. Make sure you have a safe surface to rest your hot glue gun on when you’re not using it as well.

Alternatively, you could rub a glue stick over the cardboard before adding the sand.
