The picture shows all you need apart from another couple of sheets and some simple office tape!

Design...

I guess everybody likes a different design, but the basic things are:

-You have to make it large enough so that the ends of the bindings do not go off the edges too much.
-Long enough to accustom both of the bindings without the being squashed together; but not too long.
-Nice round edges.

Most of it is common sense really...

-You now have your template. Cut this out.
-Now take a new sheet of paper and fold so you get some good thick stuff to cut from.
-Check if it can accustom the width of your board.
-Trace around the template on your thick stuff.

Perfect...

-Before cutting out everything staple the whole lot as shown. You will want to staples on each side to bend when making the tail and the nose.
-When you have this cut out!

Now the final part...

-Circle lots of tape round it to make a nice, hard structure.
-Bend the nose and the tail.
-Bend those staples to to make to board keep it's shape.

There... You have the deck!

You will have to custom make the bindings for each finger.

-First you cut a square of paper approximately what I have shown you.
-Roll it round your finger etc... To make it look like what is on the photos.
-You then ensure it's sturdiness using tape and make it look better with strips of paper. It's common sense really...
-Do not make the bindings to large, long, high etc...

Make two of these...

Stick It All Together! (you Are Nearly Finished!)
