In this article, the Wizard will tell and show us how to reuse such material as cardboard. He decided to make cardboard furniture, tables and chairs, for your children. The prototype was a table made of MDF.
Tools and materials:
-Cardboard;
-Color paper;
-Glue;
-Stationery knife;
-Rule;
-Marker;
-Blade;
-Office clips;
-Stapler;
Step One: Preparing Cardboard
The master uses cardboard from packaging boxes. Disassemble boxes, remove tape. Cuts sheets at the places of folds.
Step Two: Countertop
The master begins with the manufacture of countertops. The diameter of the countertop is 48 centimeters. The master does not have such a large piece of cardboard to cut out the entire countertop. The countertop will be made of several pieces of cardboard.
First, the master cuts a square with sides of 34 centimeters. Then cuts four semicircular workpieces.
Now you need to strengthen the cardboard blanks. The master spills superglue in the holes of the workpieces, on both sides. After hardening the glue polishes the ends with sandpaper.
Glues the blanks to the main part.
Strengthens the countertop by gluing strips of cardboard.
Step Three: Grooves
Marks and cuts grooves in the countertop. With their help, the countertop will be attached to the legs.
Step Four: Pasting
Sticks colored paper onto the countertop.
Step Five: Feet
Now you need to make the legs for the table. You can cut them from a single piece of cardboard, or as a master from several parts. The dimensions of the legs are shown in the photo.
Sheds glue and glues parts. Just need two blanks.
Sticks a second layer of cardboard on the workpiece.
Step Six: Leg Assembly
Now two blanks need to be combined into one design. To do this, the master cuts out grooves in one of the legs, and cuts the other into two halves and cuts the spikes. Then glues the leg.
Cut spikes in the upper part of the leg and paste over it with colored paper in two layers.
At the ends sticks white paper.
Seventh step: assembling the table
Now you need to glue the countertop and leg.
Step Eight: Chairs
Now you need to make chairs. The principle of their manufacture is the same as in the manufacture of the table.The top of the chair is a quarter circle. The leg has the same shape as the table. Dimensions are shown in the photo. The circle is drawn using a thread and a marker. Marks and cuts blanks.
Sticks a second layer of cardboard and spills them with glue.
Collects legs.
Cuts out, for fastening, spike / groove.
Sticks colored paper on the seat
and legs.
Sticks a white strip on the ends.
Sticks the seats to the legs.
Chairs are ready.
Here's a set of children's furniture.
P.S. After you finish working with cardboard, there are many scraps left. The master does not throw them away, but uses them for mulching.
