Except of course, that for the arabesque the flaps are curled to give that rounded, softer look and we do not do that for the mina. That does not mean we cannot add those curls So that is what I did. And it turned out to be exactly like the arabesque. In fact, comparatively speaking, I found the [Continued..]

There are 2 ways to assemble the [Continued..]
