1. Which type of cardboard should be used?

Which type of cardboard should be used?

There are many different types of cardboard on the market today, but the most popular are 3-layer, 5-layer, and 7-layer cardboard. Each type of cardboard has different uses, advantages, and disadvantages. 3-layer cardboard is used for most product categories on the market thanks to its moderate durability and compact size. 5-layer and 7-layer cardboard boxes are usually used mainly for large and heavy products. In terms of durability, 7-layer cardboard boxes are rated the highest.

So which type of cardboard should be used? The answer is that whether it is 3-layer cardboard, 5-layer, or 7-layer cardboard, it can all be used. However, to ensure the quality and durability of the product, we need to pay attention to the following:

Use new cardboard that can be reused.
Do not use damp cardboard. This will cause the finished product to be unstable and not durable or beautiful.
Before using, you should carefully clean the cardboard. Since many families have a habit of storing cardboard in the warehouse, the product can easily collect dust. Wipe it with a dry cloth and check if the surface of the cardboard still has staples or sharp objects attached!
For cardboard that is still new but rotten inside, you should also not use it to make handicrafts.
One special thing parents should note is to choose cardboard without chemical odors to avoid harming young children.

2. Instructions for making a simple school supply organizer from cardboard

Cardboard can be used to make many handicrafts such as airplanes, guitars, paper models, phones, etc. However, one of the simplest and easiest products to make is a bookshelf. A school supply organizer does not require elaborate designs or many steps, nor does it take much time. It can also decorate children's study corners and teach them to arrange their supplies neatly and tidily. Parents can make this product with their children at home, which is highly educational and creates happy moments with them.

Children's bookshelf

Materials needed:

Cardboard
Scissors, paper cutter, glue gun, ruler, pen, etc.
Decorative items such as colored paper, stickers, etc.

Step 1: First, you need to prepare 4 pieces of cardboard measuring 25cmx4cm to create the support for the bookshelf. Then, you can use colored paper or markers to color the cardboard. The product will look very eye-catching.

You can decorate it with colors according to your preference

Step 2: Then, use a glue gun to attach the product to a larger piece of cardboard. Note that at this step, we cut several pieces of cardboard of the same size to make the shelf dividers for the bookshelf. The width can be chosen at your discretion, however, to match the size in Step 1, you should choose a cardboard length of 25cm.

Use glue to attach the parts together

Next, use a piece of cardboard of similar size and attach it to the top to create a storage compartment. Note that at this step, you need to attach the product very securely to ensure durability.

Continue stacking another layer of cardboard to create different storage compartments. You can choose to decorate it with any color you like. At the same time, cut a small round hole as shown below:

During the process, make sure to attach the product securely with a glue gun

Step 3: Cut a piece of cardboard into an arch shape, then attach it to the surface of the product.

Step 4: Use a compass to draw a circle with a radius of about 15cm and cut it out. At the same time, punch a round hole to insert through the circle. Next, use a round box lid also made of cardboard to cover the empty space inside. Use the leftover pieces of cardboard to create compartments for the product.

Step 5: Next, let's make a pen holder. Prepare pieces of cardboard measuring 7cmx3cm cut diagonally on one side. Then use a compass to draw a circle with a radius of about 7cm, cut it out, and use a plastic stick to fix it in the middle. Attach the cardboard pieces to the round cardboard and wrap it with a piece of transparent plastic. At this step, you can cut pieces of cardboard of different lengths, depending on your preference. If you do not have transparent plastic available, you can also use colored paper as a substitute.

Using many colors to decorate will make the product look more eye-catching

Step 6: Cut a piece of cardboard into the shape shown below. Note that this cardboard must be the same size as the cardboard in Step 1. Attach a cardboard box measuring 5cmx1.5cm to create height for the product. Next, use the remaining part of the cardboard to create a support layer for the product.

Cut your cardboard to fit the container in step 1

Step 7: To make a bookshelf, you only need 4 pieces of cardboard cut to 40cmx20cm. To make the product look more attractive, you can cut the cardboard diagonally. Then, use cardboard pieces sized to fit the length, width, and height to make the base of the product.

Use a glue gun to secure the product firmly

Step 8: Finally, you just need to create the cabinet door for the product by using a wooden stick (or it can be replaced with cardboard) and a piece of cardboard the same size as the cardboard cut in step 1. Then use a glue gun to secure it.

With just the above steps, you have finished the storage cabinet for children's school supplies. This will surely be an extremely useful product and help children develop patience and meticulousness while making the product. At the same time, it also stimulates children's thinking and creativity.
