Hello! We continue with the basic course
cardboard furniture. If you have not seen you Lesson 1
I recommend you see it before proceeding with this video. You have the link in the
Information box. Now, we begin with Lesson 2. To
realize the explanation I have decided that we will make a table
because it is something very simple but you can apply this information to
perform other furniture.
Let's see how to get measurements without being a furniture designer.
There are several ways to do this and this is how I do.
You must first measure the space where the furniture will go, taking measurements
tall, wide and long.
Being a table as high'm going to define me because in space
Real high at my disposal is the roof.
Then considering other furniture in the room,
I will set my table will have a height of between 55 and 60 centimeters.
For width as the table goes in the middle,
I have taken the measure considering that it can pass easily between
table and other furniture so it should be between 50 and 60 centimeters.
Continuing with this slogan, the length of the table should have no more than 70 centimeters.
Being aware of the space that we can now realize
measures table. For this we break down the main parts
They will form the cabinet. Will the board and legs. For
set the table height I have to take into account these two pieces. I go
choose 55 centimeters to the overall height and the measure I have to
distribute between the top height and leg height.
The logic is that the legs are much higher than the board.
So I decide that the legs will have a height of 50 centimeters and the
board five centimeters. The measurement of the board may be smaller or
greater depending on the thickness you want him. And with that we would have the high
table. The width of the table we will give board. Given the
measures of space, I'll decant by 50 centimeters.
For long we will also only consider
board and will choose the maximum space that were 70 centimeters.
We have the measures on the table now let's realize a few more pieces.
I even drawing a sketch awful
But it is necessary.
We had said that the board would have a width of 50 centimeters,
70 centimeters long and high, which is the thickness that will have the board,
It will be 5 centimeters. We are the legs. We can make them
with square base of this style, which is what we normally see on a table,
but I'll show a much easier way. Make with a round base
oval u. We had set up 50 centimeter so now
I have to take the diameter of the legs. How do we do it? What I do is
I do think that if a leg like this, the measure of each side would be 5
centimeters and do not know if it makes sense mathematically what
I say but this is what works for me. What I do is multiply the 5
number of sides having the legs, which are four, and the result gives me
I use to make the diameter of the oval leg.
We get down to work.
To make table legs, let's cut four pieces of cardboard 50
centimeters high. The length will depend on the thickness
carton but approximately be about 80 centimeters.
Let's grab a roll of cardboard or something similar and we used to crimp the piece.
We remove the roll and now we go rolling up the piece evenly and
gluing with hot glue.
As we enrrollándolo have to check the diameter measurement.
In this case we must reach 20 centimeters.
If the piece of cardboard is small we unite the other end and
we continue rolling. And if we have too, just cut. To soften the
bonding paste paper tape.
This is a quick and easy way to make
paws. We repeat this step three more times and
We subject these parts.
To make the board we need three pieces of 50 x 70 centimeters.
We grabbed one of them and we will make a margin of 2.5 centimeters.
You can make it smaller but I would not recommend.
Then just where the lines intersect margin
let's draw the outline of the legs. You can do it directly with the leg
or use an object of the same diameter so that it may be easier.
These circles have them cut and we will remain so. We booked this
piece and grabbed another board. Now let's fill this piece
cardboard strips. To know the size must take into account the height
we decided for the board. There were five centimeters. Let's gather
all parts of the board and measuring the height of all joints.
It measures one centimeter so this is what we subtract the total measure and we
will the measure should have high strips: four centimeters.
Cut strips four centimeters high and long in this case is the
board or less. And let's sticking with hot glue on one of the
board pieces. First the edges and then inside.
When we have completely filled be stuck another piece of board
above. To make it easier you can fold the cardboard in this way and
then paste sections with hot glue.
Thus when a part is already stuck you can go without hitting the rest
fear that the workpiece moves.
After be stuck over the part in which we marked the contour
paws. This can be done with white glue and
then put some weight on it or do it with hot glue.
Then make sure the joints with paper tape.
We have all the pieces ready
to join them.
To paste the legs what I do is put white glue in the center and
then hot silicone around WTD.
I put the leg and stuffing union with hot glue.
Repeat this step with the rest. We will being well and we can make cartapesta.
If you have any questions, lesson one in which I explain how.
Cartapesta brings quite hard to furniture but still
need to strengthen the part of the legs. Put a few pieces between the
legs. You can put them halfway up or just when the board ends. measures
distance between the outside of each of the legs.
In my case I need two pieces of 65 by 10 cm for the longest part
table and two pieces of 45 by 10 centimeters for the shorter part.
Check that you agree that these measures may vary due to the type of
cardboard and pressure exerted by winding legs. These pieces were
You have to make cartapesta on both sides and then glue them to the table.
This step could be done before the cartapesta but it seems to me more
comfortable doing separately.
And here comes Lesson 2.
In the next video we can see how to decorate
cardboard furniture and teach you how to give an appearance of aged wood to
table. Do not miss! And let me remind you
little hand up and says it is looking like the course.
Ciao!
