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, it 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 interesting and unusual item interior, like a cardboard folder holder.

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).

Progress

1. We take 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 right hand, glue the strip along the edges with PVA glue with 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 upper layer napkins. 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 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.

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 back wall, bottom and front wall).

All big hello! Today I will show you and tell you how to make a tray from a simple box. I already have a similar master class, you can see it. In my opinion, such a do-it-yourself paper stand is very convenient for those who work with documents or simply for those who like to read newspaper magazines.

Unlike the horizontal holder, the vertical holder saves a lot of space and is quite compact. Often this kind of organizers can be seen in offices, on desktops. Most trays are made of plastic and wood. In some store I even saw wicker wicker, but they are more suitable for home under magazines and books.

By the way, they will be very convenient for schoolchildren to store colored paper, sketchbooks, notebooks and much more.

My version of the document stand is good because it is very easy to make. So, let's begin….

Do-it-yourself paper stand

We will need:

• Cardboard box from dry breakfasts or porridge. The tighter it is, the better. I do not advise taking too thin and soft. In this case, it will need to be reinforced on the sides with additional sheets of cardboard for density.
• Scissors or utility knife.
• Pencil.
• Ruler.
• Self-adhesive film. Wrapping paper is also suitable, but in addition to it, you will need glue or double-sided tape.

First, cut off the top of the box so nothing sticks out. On one edge, from the bottom, measure 11-12 centimeters. Connect this point with a line to the top one on the opposite edge. You should get a bevel, as in the picture.

Roll out a roll of self-adhesive tape and lay the workpiece on top. The figure shows that it is necessary to measure the height of the box and add centimeters at the bottom equal to the width of the bottom + 2 or 3 cm. Bend 4 centimeters of paper and place the blank straight. Glue it around carefully.

Bend the bottom first from the ends, and then from the wide part. Cut off the top protruding part of the film with scissors or a clerical knife. Press all edges well so that it adheres tightly to the tray.

That's basically it. The item can be decorated upon request. various decor, for example, ribbons, wooden figurines or thick colored paper.

If you liked the master class, then be sure to share it with your friends on social networks. networks, as well as subscribe to new blog articles.

I wish you all creative inspiration and good luck! Kiss! Bye!

instead of a preface.
As often happens, a lot of unnecessary boxes accumulate on the farm, but instead of just throwing them away, I suggest putting them into action.
So, how to make a vertical tray (folder) for papers.

Photo 1. Take an unnecessary cardboard box and cut it into whole pieces (sidewall and lids) - I took a paper box.

Photo 2 and photo 3. Cut it into pieces, choosing desired shape. The folder consists of 2 sidewalls (photo2) and 3 segments (the width of your tray depends on them, mine is 11 cm - photo 3).

Photo 4. We compose it according to the principle shown in this photo (the scribbled or dirty side must be done inside your tray. We fasten with adhesive tape (small pieces) - this will be a fitting of the details.

Photo 6. Almost finished, but outwardly not quite a beautiful tray. Although it can already perform its function.

Photo 7. As an option for finishing the tray. I used the decoupage technique and so my favorite napkins with sunflowers. You can decorate to your liking.
