The shroud and rear nozzle are printed on manila file folder card stock. Its a great material for shrouds.
The straight lines are cut first with a new blade and strait edge. After the straight lines are cut use scissors for the curved arc lines.
TIP: Before forming the nozzle check to find the smooth side of the card stock. Sometimes one side of the card stock that is smoother than the other side. Form the curve with the smoother side out.
Enlarge the picture and you can see the bottom image shows the smoother side. That side should end up on the outside of the shroud.
Form the shroud by rolling a clean dowel with the card stock in the soft heel of your palm. This method works better than dragging the card stock over the edge of a table top.
You'll just have to try it once to see how smooth the curve can be. No creases and no wrinkles.
Also form the inside glue tab over a dowel. This puts a small curve into the tab so it will be less visible under the shroud ends.
