- Put glue inside the shape as well.
- Take the twenty loose coils and place them randomly in the glued area.
- If there are any gaps, fill them up with some tight coils. Which you will make by using the same steps as the loose coils just you have to put the coil into the smallest circle shape in the circle cizer.
