Do-it-yourself cardboard coasters for magazines. How to make a do-it-yourself stand for papers, magazines and newspapers from cardboard

The master class is designed for students in grades 4-6, in order to use waste material.

The purpose of the master class: teach students how to make a stand for magazines, give information on the phased sequence of the product; develop the skills of robots with cardboard, napkins, glue, varnish; develop thinking, attention, creative imagination, memory; educate the aesthetic taste of children, interest in design.

When we shop, we have no idea how useful packing cartons can be in everyday life. Corrugated cardboard, in addition to its strength, is an environmentally friendly material, which allows it to be used in decoration. One of these decors can be a cardboard holder for folders. It's economical, easy to create, and its functionality depends on your creativity. Thus, we offer you to try yourself in creating an interesting and unusual piece of furniture, like a cardboard holder for folders.

We will need:

Carton boxes,

Scissors,

Pencil,

PVA glue,

White napkins, napkin with motif,

Brush, wide brush (paint brush),

Bowl for dissolving glue with water,

White acrylic paint (or white gouache diluted with PVA glue in equal proportions),

Foam rubber (piece of sponge),

Colored acrylic paints or gouache,

Lacquer interior acrylic (glossy).

Working process

1. We take a cardboard box and mark with a pencil the place of the cut on one side. We cut off. For symmetry, we apply the cut out part on the other side, mark it with a pencil and also cut it off.

2. If the cardboard box is thin, for strength, we glue cardboard or a cardboard box, selected by size, from the middle. If desired, you can make compartments using the lid of the shoe box, gluing it around the edges. Cardboard can be cut, unfolded, choosing the size of the box. Design, fantasize!

3. We tear the napkins into strips with our hands. We begin to glue the box from the top, and then the sides. With the left hand, we fold the strip with folds (we drape), and with a brush, holding it in the right hand, we glue the strip around the edges with PVA glue and water (divorced equally). Glue the strip partly to save volume

4. A draped box comes out.

5. Paint over the box with a wide brush. To easily paint over the sides from the bottom of the box, put it on a plank or on some smaller object. Waiting for the paint to dry (approximately 10 hours)

6. Choose a napkin. Cut out the motif with nail scissors and separate the top layer of the napkin. We won't need two other layers without a picture for our work.

7. Using PVA glue, glue the motif from the napkin.

8. Using a sponge and a small amount of yellow acrylic paint, diluted equally with water, lightly apply the background. We are waiting for it to dry.

9. Slightly blur the background with a sponge and black acrylic paint (or red, as in another version of the stand), diluted equally with water.

10. Using green (for the stem, flower leaves) and red (for petals) acrylic paints, paint on small elements.

11. Using a wide brush, cover the stand with acrylic varnish and let dry. After drying (the varnish does not stick when touched with fingers), the stand can be used for its intended purpose.

12. These are the coasters.

13. If you use napkins, stencils and acrylic putty, you get exclusive coasters

To organize all your things and keep your house clean, you need special boxes, bags and organizers. Some of these things can be found in stores and markets, while others can be made by hand. Here are some interesting ideas on how and where you can store various things so that they do not take up much space and can be easily found:

1. How to store small things: mat-bag.

With the help of such a mat-bag, which you can buy or make with your own hands from tarpaulin, rope and thread with a needle, you can easily put away small toys (designer, for example) after the children have finished playing.

2. How to make a jewelry organizer

If you pull a fishing line or a strong thread onto an ordinary frame, then you can hang jewelry on it - this is not only convenient, but also looks beautiful.

3. Storage containers.

Also, different things can be stored in one or more magazine stands.

These coasters can be purchased at the store or you can make your own from boxes, such as cereal boxes.

Here's how it's done:

4. Storage of personal small items.

The fruit vase can also be used to store small items such as earrings, lipstick, keys, key chains and others.

5. Storage systems.

If you find such a simple and functional shelf, then you can save a lot of space in the bathroom.

6. Convenient storage box.

For a bathroom or toilet, you can also order such a narrow chest of drawers that takes up very little space, but at the same time it can store a lot of necessary things. With a strong desire, such a chest of drawers can be made independently.

7. Organizers for storing small things.

If you have such a basket or a box of similar size, then you can use it as an organizer for various little things. You can add small notes that will indicate what is in each compartment of the organizer.

8. Do-it-yourself stationery organizers.

9. Convenient toilet paper storage organizer.

10. DIY kitchen organizer

By stacking several empty cans (preferably the same size) in one basket, you can store various kitchen utensils in it.

11. Organizer from empty cans for storing things with your own hands.

To connect all the cans, use cardboard and wide tape. Glue strips of cardboard to the bottom of each jar. If desired, all cans can be glued with adhesive tape around the perimeter.

12. Do-it-yourself organizer for storing papers from boxes.

* Cut a small piece of the box diagonally.

* From the next box, cut off a larger piece to make a ladder when you connect it to the larger box. It is advisable to compare the size of the next box with the size of the previous one.

* From the third box, cut off an even larger piece.

* Connect all the boxes together with tape - wrapping it around all the boxes - or double-sided tape - gluing the boxes together.

* If you wish, you can wrap the entire structure with wrapping or colored paper to make it look more aesthetically pleasing. You can also decorate it according to your taste.

Another similar organizer:

13. Office organizer.

From the box and cardboard sleeves of toilet paper rolls, you can make a convenient organizer for stationery, in particular for pencils, felt-tip pens and pens.

14. Free portable juice box organizer.

You will need:

empty juice box

Stationery knife

Twine

Hole puncher

Various stationery.

1. Rinse and dry the juice box well.

2. Use a utility knife to cut off part of the box from the side (see image).

3. With a hole punch, make several holes along the center of the box. The number of holes depends on the number of pencils and pens you are going to use.

4. Make a hole in the notched part and thread a piece of string through it. Tie it in a knot to form a handle so you can easily open and close the organizer with it.

5. Cut a hole for the glue stick in the top of the box. You can also insert pencils or pens there (instead of glue).

You can fill the organizer with different stationery. Now you can take it with you.

15. DIY dream catcher - jewelry organizer.

You will need:

Thread for knitting.

1. Separate the hoop.

2. Tie one end of the thread to the top of the ring.

3. From the first knot, pull one end of the thread 6-7 cm and tie a knot next to it. Pull the other end to the other side and also tie to the ring. Repeat until you have a geometric shape inside a circle.

5. Repeat step 4 until you have a web that completely covers the circle.

Now you can just hang your earrings, beads and other jewelry on the craft. If desired, you can make a small loop in the hoop so that the craft can be hung.

To make the dream catcher look even more like an Indian symbol, you can attach feathers to it.

16. Organizer for storing brushes with your own hands

You will need:

Bamboo mat (sushi mat)

wide elastic band

Thread and needle.

1. Wrap the elastic around the first piece of the rug and secure with a few stitches.

2. Begin to draw the elastic through the pieces of the mat, leaving large, medium and small sections for the tassels.

3. At the end of the mat also wrap the elastic and secure with a few stitches.

Now, by inserting the tassels into the elastic, you can roll the rug and take it with you or put it somewhere where it will take up little space.

17. DIY underwear organizer

You will need:

Box (from under shoes, for example)

Scissors

Wrapping paper (optional)

There is a catastrophic lack of space on the desktop, one storage box is somehow not enough for me for my pieces of paper. And I, like a first-grader, have colored paper, and PVA glue, and scissors, and sheets of felt - and everything needs to be folded somewhere. And I decided to make a box or tray for storing papers myself. It is done quickly - cut out of cardboard and glue. However, first things first.

What you need to make a cardboard box with your own hands

• Cardboard (I have thick corrugated cardboard from the packaging box)
• Super glue
• Pencil
• Ruler
• masking tape
• Scissors
• glue stick
• Stationery knife
• Napkins (for pasting our beauty)

You will need a lot of space for cutting a full-fledged box for storing A4 papers - I freed up a table in the kitchen for this.

We start with a pattern. We mark the future box with a pencil and a ruler.

You can make the box one-piece and then fold and glue it, but even my huge piece of cardboard was not enough for this, so I still cut out the front wall separately.

Using a ruler and a pencil, make a pattern. As a basis, I took the box I already had. The sizes are as follows:

1) Bottom: 27x10 cm

2) Sidewall: height - 30 cm, depth 27 cm

3) Front wall: 10x15 (10 cm corresponds to the width of the bottom, and the height can be varied as you like).

Cut out. You can cut with scissors, but thick cardboard is much more convenient to cut with a clerical knife. Also, with a sharp blade of scissors, we draw the fold lines of the future box.

Cut out the front wall.

We fold the box along the fold lines.

It remains to glue. I didn’t know how to glue cardboard well (I had PVA, a glue stick and superglue), so I used superglue for reliability - it holds tightly.

At the second box, I made the front wall a little lower. And I cut this box out of double corrugated cardboard - I suffered wildly. Such a thick cardboard for storing papers is not needed, but it is oh so hard to cut it out.

It remains to paste over the box with napkins.

We iron the folds of napkins.

To paste one box on the outside, you will need 3 napkins 30x30 cm - one for each sidewall, and from the third we cut out three strips (on the back wall, bottom and front wall).

Yes, we live in the digital age, but many still buy magazines and newspapers, because no gadget can replace the feel of paper and the ability to turn pages. To keep magazines at hand, we suggest making a rack with your own hands. The foldable magazine stand can be placed next to a sofa, armchair or side table in a seating area. The style is minimalistic rustic, as we will use raw wood and denim fabric. But for your interior, you can make a completely different option, using lacquered wood and bright fabrics.

Tools and materials:

• 4 wooden planks;
• 2 wooden planks of circular cross section (profile, rail);
• 2 3/8" bolts with nuts;
• self-tapping screws;
• piece of fabric;
• needle, thread or sewing machine.

Folding magazine stand: work in progress.

? Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric 90 by 40 cm (including seam allowances). Tuck one edge of the fabric 1 cm, then another 1 cm. Secure with pins, sew. Remove the needles and repeat for the other three sides. This will hide the raw edge.

? Step 2 Fold one of the shorter sides of the fabric by 5 cm, secure with pins. There should be a gap where you can insert a round wooden lath. and fasten along the very edge (so you leave a loop/gap through which you can insert the dowel). Repeat for the opposite edge of the fabric.

? Step 3 Take 4 wooden planks of the same length (40 cm). If there are no ready-made ones, cut a longer plank. Sand the edges. Mark the middle of each plank, then drill a hole in the center. The diameter of the hole should match the inch bolts that you will insert into the holes later.

? Step 4 Saw a round wooden profile into two pieces. In this example, each is 45 cm long. Sand the edges. Using a self-tapping screw, screw the rail to a flat wooden plank strictly at a right angle. The self-tapping screw passes through the round rail.

? Step 5 Put the fabric part on both round slats. Repeat step 4. You will have two wooden bases connected with fabric.

? Step 6 Attach the two wooden bases together by screwing the bolt through the hole you made earlier in the center of each piece. Position each pair in an X-shape, with fabric hanging between them, and then secure the bolts with a wing nut. Repeat on the other side.

Agree that in the working mess there is absolutely no place for a lot of pieces of paper with records that could ever come in handy. You always put them in one place, but in the end they are scattered all over the table. So it was with me, until I decided to make a stand for pieces of paper using the cardboard technique and a master class at the same time. The stand, of course, also serves to store clean paper. It's amazing what you can create with cardboard, fabric, and glue. The manufacturing technique is simple, you just need to be patient and be careful.

To create a stand, you need to prepare:
cardboard - 2 mm thick; fabric, preferably 100% cotton; PVA glue; whatman; glue "Moment Crystal / Universal"; stationery knife; scissors; glue brush; masking tape; pencil; ruler.

Cut out blanks from cardboard of the desired size with a clerical knife.

First, we will assemble three sides measuring 9x9 cm (two walls and the bottom of the stand), applying glue to the edges of the bottom. To make the wall at a right angle, you can adjust it by propping it up with a corner.

We glue the back wall of the stand.

We take any round object and circle it on blanks for small front walls so that we get a beveled corner.

We glue the small parts, applying glue to the edges of the walls and bottom.

This is how the glued corners of the stand should look like.

Masking tape is needed in order to secure the entire structure. We seal them all the joints inside the stand and outside. Using a stack, smooth out the adhesive tape so that there are no wrinkles.

We iron a fabric blank measuring 39x13 cm. We will glue the fabric to the walls of the stand, as if wrapping it around. We apply glue in a very thin layer on the first wall. If you apply too much, the glue may pass through the fabric and leave marks, or the cardboard may warp.

We glue this wall to the fabric. We make sure that the wall lies just in the center and there are indents.

We glue all three walls, carefully glue the small ones. We level the surface with a stack so that there are no swellings on the fabric.

We cut off the corners at an acute angle at the bottom of the stand. We glue the indents. First you need to make cuts on the fabric in places where small walls end. We do not cut off the excess fabric, we will glue the inside of the walls with it.

In the same way, we cut and glue the corners of the upper part of the stand of the rear and side walls.

Now let's prepare the fabric in the front to glue the small walls nicely.

At the bottom, evenly cut off the excess fabric to the level of the upper part of the bottom.

We make cuts accordingly.

First, we glue the upper corner, braiding it around the perimeter of the rounded part. If extra folds appear, then small cuts can be made by sticking them on top of each other. Let's bend and glue a piece of fabric that remains superfluous, but just serves the purpose so that the edge of the fabric is not visible. We carefully glue the last part, forming a flat surface and corners with a stack.

We cut out a square from whatman paper, suitable for the size of the bottom and a fabric with allowances for it.

Glue whatman paper on the ironed fabric. We cut corners at an acute angle.

We leave a segment not glued, which we glue to the upper part of the bottom.

We glue the bottom, wrapping the loose fabric up.
