Video Transcript

"So now we have our square vase completely constructed and what is left to do is to clean up all of our connection points and make them look nice. You are going to want to do this around all the sides and in addition to doing that you are going to want to clean out the top. I like to just smooth out the corners a bit because I don't like them to look too sharp. What I am going to do is take my fingers and get them wet and then just rub and pinch across each wall and then wipe with my sponge just to give it a little bit more rounded and finished appearance and once we are done smoothing, all these edges and all of the connecting points, we have a completed square vase."
