Agree that in the working mess there is absolutely no place for a lot of pieces of paper with records that could ever come in handy. You always put them in one place, but in the end they are scattered all over the table. So it was with me, until I decided to make a stand for pieces of paper using the cardboard technique and a master class at the same time. The stand, of course, also serves to store clean paper. It's amazing what you can create with cardboard, fabric, and glue. The manufacturing technique is simple, you just need to be patient and be careful.
To create a stand, you need to prepare:
cardboard - 2 mm thick; fabric, preferably 100% cotton; PVA glue; whatman; glue "Moment Crystal / Universal"; stationery knife; scissors; glue brush; masking tape; pencil; ruler.
Cut out blanks from cardboard of the desired size with a clerical knife.
First, we will assemble three sides measuring 9x9 cm (two walls and the bottom of the stand), applying glue to the edges of the bottom. To make the wall at a right angle, you can adjust it by propping it up with a corner.
We glue the back wall of the stand.
We take any round object and circle it on blanks for small front walls so that we get a beveled corner.
We glue the small parts, applying glue to the edges of the walls and bottom.
This is how the glued corners of the stand should look like.
Masking tape is needed in order to secure the entire structure. We seal them all the joints inside the stand and outside. Using a stack, smooth out the adhesive tape so that there are no wrinkles.
We iron a fabric blank measuring 39x13 cm. We will glue the fabric to the walls of the stand, as if wrapping it around. We apply glue in a very thin layer on the first wall. If you apply too much, the glue may pass through the fabric and leave marks, or the cardboard may warp.
We glue this wall to the fabric. We make sure that the wall lies just in the center and there are indents.
We glue all three walls, carefully glue the small ones. We level the surface with a stack so that there are no swellings on the fabric.
We cut off the corners at an acute angle at the bottom of the stand. We glue the indents. First you need to make cuts on the fabric in places where small walls end. We do not cut off the excess fabric, we will glue the inside of the walls with it.
In the same way, we cut and glue the corners of the upper part of the stand of the rear and side walls.
Now let's prepare the fabric in the front to glue the small walls nicely.
At the bottom, evenly cut off the excess fabric to the level of the upper part of the bottom.
We make cuts accordingly.
First, we glue the upper corner, braiding it around the perimeter of the rounded part. If extra folds appear, then small cuts can be made by sticking them on top of each other. Let's bend and glue a piece of fabric that remains superfluous, but just serves the purpose so that the edge of the fabric is not visible. We carefully glue the last part, forming a flat surface and corners with a stack.
We cut out a square from whatman paper, suitable for the size of the bottom and a fabric with allowances for it.
Glue whatman paper on the ironed fabric. We cut corners at an acute angle.
We leave a segment not glued, which we glue to the upper part of the bottom.
We glue the bottom, wrapping the loose fabric up.

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. If desired, the product can be decorated with various decors, 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!
