Paper joinery

I am trying to join 2 pieces of cardboard paper to one another. It is supposed to be a circle 330mm in diameter, bigger than the dimension of the glowforge.

What method would be best? Simple gluing/ taping? Slot and tab? something else?

Do you have snapmarks?

Nope

Kerf adjusted Puzzle pieces reinforced with tape?

Funny that you posted this after I finally started looking through my bookmarks I made FOREVER ago and I am about to give this Joinery app a go. The link was found on this site somewhere and if this thing even remotely works like it is supposed to, then it is awesome. You can choose from all kinds of awesome joinery techniques and I am looking forward to trying them all out!! Post if you use it!

The “home” of the app on Instructables that explains what it is and how it works.
