Assembly is easy.
Push the pipe fittings onto the sticks.
That's all there is to it.
The diagrams show which pieces I used and how I assembled them. My displays may not be to scale, but they look good and you know what a doll is doing so it's close enough for me. Once you start building, you will discover what works best for you.
For best results, squeeze the fittings and dowels together firmly but not too tight or they may be difficult to pull apart. When everything is assembled, square them up, so the display is straight. The caps go on the ends of the dowels. They aren't necessary but they make the finished display look nice.
Have fun!
