How to make a cardboard screen
A do-it-yourself cardboard screen does not last long, it all depends on the scale and number of parts.
Necessary materials
- Cardboard. (from boxes for household appliances).
- Pencil.
- Scissors.
- Office glue.
- Schemes of parts.
Step-by-step instruction
We see that we have five elements in the diagram. We cut out each and carefully circle it with a simple pencil on cardboard. You will need so many of them:
- Figure A: 16
- Figure B: 80
- Figure C: 70
- Figure D: 64
- Figure E: 5
For parts E, it is more advisable to use a thicker cardboard, as these are the pillars of our design.
The main structures are A and B. We will have to fasten them together with elements C and D. We bind parts B to each other in the slots with part C.
Thus, we combine all the details and our screen is ready.
However, there is an even simpler manufacturing method. Fully guided by their imagination, come up with the same form. Be it a circle, oval, square or star. You can even experiment with sizes and put it all together.
Decorating a finished screen is perhaps more difficult than making it. Supporters of minimalism in the decor leave it in its natural form, sometimes they allow any applications or drawings.
IMPORTANT. When applying an application or drawing, this must be done on the parts until they are connected to the finished structure.
The easiest way to decorate the finished product is to paint it. You can paint in a uniform color, or you can betray each color with different colors, this decoration will be more vivid.
Now that you yourself can make a screen, then appreciate its properties, because you can not use it only in the case of a visit by guests, but also simply as an element of the decor of your room, especially if the screen is small size.
