MODULE 1 • First Steps

Step	Description
1	Our first step is to prepare our paper measuring 38” (96.5cm) wide by 48” (121.9cm) long.
2	Our first step is to mark a guideline 4” (10.2cm) from the outer edge of the paper. After we have done that we are going to take about 1” (2.5cm) and label that point as point A.
