r/cardboard

All parts undergo detail depth layering and dome processing. Relief is applied to the mini dome without retouching. After drying, the imperfections will be removed.

This is a Katana Stand I made. It's supposed to be hung on a wall to display the Katana. Now, it's interior is a bit sturdy. I used a long hard stick for the skeleton and ice cream sticks to fill in. Now, I still believe I should do something to make sure it's reallllly strong yet light.

I'm thinking ice cream sticks all over outside and something to cover it again with glue water and paper. What do yall think?

but as I got to the fingers all I can do is have them attached on the bottom and I dont want to glue it to the gloves any advice? Please.

preferably need it to be explained

I’ve been saving about 100 lbs of shredded cardboard and was hoping to sell it, but I’m having a hard time figuring out where to start. I’m in the Los Angeles area and was wondering if anyone here has experience with this.

Are there businesses that actually buy shred

ded cardboard? If so, what kinds of places should I contact? Recycling centers? Packaging companies? Farms? Pet bedding suppliers?

Also, is shredded cardboard even something people want to buy in smaller amounts like this, or is it mostly only useful in bulk?

Any advice, ideas, or direction would really help. Thanks!

Loosely inspired by the Thomas Dambo troll in our neighborhood.  Exterior shell is all cardboard, with hot glue for adhesion.  Internal structure is an old backpacking frame + wood struts.  Full weight is 35 lbs.  I did a 3D model in Blender and used papercraft-maker.com to convert that into papercraft templates printed on paper and laid over the cardboard for cut and fold lines.  I initially started with an Xacto blade but upgraded to an electric cardboard cutter at some point during the project, which was clutch.  The costume has made an appearance at both Halloween and a recent neighborhood parade with nothing falling apart entirely, so I'll call it a success!

Now I have 1 arm completely made

My smallest but big biggest project I started this in December and finished it a few days ago here’s my cardboard 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel some info it has the CM2350B ECM, holder HE300VG turbo and a common rail fuel system equipped with the CP3 and Bosch injectors.

The entire structure stands thanks to static balance and interlocking connections; glue was used for small parts, however, no adhesive was used when the resulting parts were added to the main structure.Time-lapse video to see how the parts fall into place.

My second carboard project. I tried and learned few new things during the build and I'm really starting to enjoy this hobby.

Today I decided to make something out of cardboard for the first time and as expected it turned out to be rubbish.I also didn't take into account the size of my nose and it fits with difficulty lol

So far it’s taken about 5 and a half hours of work, 1 cereal box, 1 baking margarine box, 3 tissue box’s, part of a wrapping paper tube, some other cardboard, and a lot of hot glue. The detachable gun wasn’t even in my original plan but I thought it would look cool.

Last image is so you can see what he looks like.

I made this a few months ago. It was inspired by orc siege machines I have seen. Hope y’all like it :)

This was my first attempt at making a marble run out of cardboard. Thought this sub would like it.

The process is nearing its end in the first phase.
