Paper stand

You must admit that there is absolutely no room for a lot of pieces of paper with notes in the workplace mess that might someday come in handy. You always put them in one place, but in the end they are scattered around the table. So it was with me, until I decided to make a stand for pieces of paper using the technique of cartoning and a master class at the same time. The stand, of course, also serves to store clean paper. It's amazing what kind of things you can create with cardboard, fabric and glue. The manufacturing technique is simple, you just need to be patient and be careful.

To create the stand you need to prepare:
cardboard - 2 mm thickness; fabric, preferably 100% cotton; PVA glue; whatman; Crystal / Universal Moment glue; stationery knife; scissors; glue brush; masking tape; pencil; ruler.

Cut the blanks from cardboard of the right size with the help of 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. So that the wall is at a right angle, you can adjust it by propping it with a corner.

Glue the back wall of the stand.

We take any round object and circle it on the blanks for the small front walls so that a beveled corner is obtained.

We glue small parts, applying glue to the edges of the walls and bottom.

The glued corners of the stand should look like this.

Masking tape is needed in order to secure the entire structure. We glue them all the joints inside the stand and outside. Using a stack, smooth the tape so that there are no wrinkles.

We iron the blank from the fabric measuring 39x13 cm. We will glue the fabric to the walls of the stand, as if wrapping it. Apply glue in a very thin layer to the first wall. If you apply a lot, the glue can pass through the fabric and leave marks or cardboard may be deformed.

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, gently glue small ones. We level the surface with a stack so that there are no swelling on the fabric.

We cut the corners at an acute angle at the bottom of the stand. We glue indents. First you need to make cuts on the tissue 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, cut and glue the corners of the upper part of the stand of the rear and side walls.

Now we will prepare the fabric in the front part to glue the small walls nicely.

Below, we evenly cut off the excess tissue to the level of the upper part of the bottom.

We make cuts accordingly.

First, glue the upper corner, braiding it around the perimeter of the rounded part. If extra folds appear, then small incisions can be made by gluing them to each other. Bend and glue a piece of fabric, which remains redundant, but just serves that purpose so that the edges of the fabric are not visible. We carefully glue the last part, forming an even surface and corners with the stack.

Cut a square from the Whatman paper that fits the size of the bottom and the fabric with allowances to it.

On ironed fabric we glue whatman paper. We cut the corners at an acute angle.

We leave the segment not glued, which we glue to the top of the bottom.

Glue the bottom by wrapping the loose fabric up.

Level the surface with a stack.

We cut four pieces for the inside of the stand from the Whatman paper. They will be smaller than the walls by several millimeters. Previously, it is better to apply each blank and make sure that it fits freely and another millimeter is in stock, because the fabric will also take up space. We glue all the blanks with a cloth.
