Introduction: Cardboard Guitar and Drum Set
We made a guitar and a drum out of Cardboard!
Supplies
- Cardboard
- Bendable cardboard
- Rubber Bands
- Scissors or laser cutter
- Hot glue gun
- Skewers
Step 1: Design Shapes
On a laser cutter app, you will design a guitar outline like you can see on the image above. You will then laser cut it onto Cardboard.
Step 2: Collect More Material
Then, cut 2 long pieces of cardboard. Make sure they're bendable, because you'll need to fit them around the base of the guitar.
Step 3: Base of Guitar
Next, glue the strips onto the base to give your guitar height.
Step 4: Glue Second Piece
After, hot glue the top of the guitar on.
Step 5: Cut and Glue Circles to Bridge
Then, you will laser cut 6 semi circles and glue them onto the neck of the guitar that you laser cut on step 1.
Step 6: Cover Circles With Bendable Cardboard
Over the bridge, place a bendable piece of cardboard so that you cannot see the cardboard semi circles. Finally bend the remaining handle of the neck upwards.
Step 7: Glue Guitar Together
After that, glue the neck onto the guitar.
Step 8: Cut and Glue the Bridge
Then, laser cut a tiny bridge and glue it onto the guitar.
Step 9: Skewers and Details
Take your wooden skewers, cut them at about an inch to an inch and a half each and glue them onto the neck of the guitar. Then, use a sharpie to draw dots between skewers to add detail.
Step 10: Skewers and Holes
Then poke 4 holes into the head of the guitar and put 1/2 inch skewers in each of them. Repeat this for the bridge.
Step 11: Attach Rubber Bands and Finish
Finally, attach rubber bands across the skewers on the head and bridge of the guitar and your guitar is done!
Step 12: Drum
The Drum is simple. Take two circles of carboard and one large rectangle of bendable cardboard.
Step 13: Bring Drum Together
Slowly wrap the bendable carboard around both circles while applying hot glue. Then let the glue dry!
Step 14: Finish
All finished! You did it!!
