Cardboard Spherical Object

I like to make things with cardboard so this time I thought I might make a cardboard ball.

Step 1: Materials

You will need

• a compass
• a straight edge
• a glue gun
• cardboard
• a ruler

Step 2: The Circle

• Draw a circle, as wide as you can make it on the cardboard.
• Then cut it out
• Finally cut it in half
• Repeat until you have 8 half circles and 1 whole uncut circle

Step 3: The Cutouts

• Cut out a section of cardboard in the center or as shown on the pictures
• Do this for all of the half circles and 2 sides of the whole circle.
• The whole circle should be symmetrical
• 2 of the half circles should also fit into the whole circle to make it seem as if they are 2 intersecting circles

Step 4: Glue

• Glue the 2 pieces that fit into the whole circle as shown

Step 5: The Cutouts Part 2

• Cut out other pieces of cardboard on the whole circle to match the size of the uncut parts of the cutouts except thick enough to slide the pieces in
• Do this for all 6 pieces and the circle should be as close to symmetrical as possible
• The half circles should fit right in to make a cardboard ball

Step 6: Glue Part 2

• Glue all the pieces in to the circle as shown

Step 7: Finished

You are finished!
