Grab the two teal pieces and lay them on top of each other to get the correct direction. Let's work on the square background pieces first. Step 3: Assemble The 3D Layered Paper Craft Design. You'll want to slide the spatula around each side of the piece to gently lift it until loose. Use your spatula to help pull up thin pieces like the house outline shown below. If you have the newest Maker 3 or Explore 3, your total cut time will be shorter. The 14 layers will take you a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes to cut on the Explore 2.
