12: Close Curve:



Repeat the last step with the curve next to it.


13: Duplicate Options:



Open the duplicate options menu and change the options. The reason for these numbers is very simple. We need 8 triangular shapes and 8 squares shapes, but since we all ready created 2 we need to complete14 more. 360/8 = 45.

14: Results:



Here we have it. Not bad, we can already see the shape of the rim coming together.

15: Duplicate:



Select the curves, duplicate and scale to about 30% of the original size.
