Learn how to make non-symmetrical furniture, using only cardboard and glue.

You don't need a large workshop or carpentry skills, you can make furniture even on a table in a small apartment.

Can you put heavy books on the cabinet?

Yes, you can. In the class, you will learn the method of making stable furniture.

In this class you will learn:

How to make a sturdy cabinet from cardboard
How to make curved parts
How to get a smooth finish to cardboard furniture
How to paint the cabinet with two colors and maintain a crisp border between the colors.

Is the cabinet waterproof?

We will paint the cabinet with several layers of acrylic paint - which will give it protection against moisture. You can clean the cabinet with a wet cloth without damaging it.

Materials and tools:

Large and medium cardboard boxes.
Craft knife
A cutting mat, but you can also use simple cardboard instead.
PVA glue (simple school glue)
A ruler - preferably a long one (60-90 cm)
Right angle ruler
Hot glue gun and some glue sticks
Sandpaper or other sanding tool.
Gummed paper tape, but you can also use simple paper instead.
Acrylic paints - the colors I'm using in this class are White, Black, and Violet. But you can use whatever colors you like.
