Making A Reading Table With MatchBoxes.

[tranquil3]

Hello everyone, today I decided to make a reading table with matches boxes, it was lots of fun and I hope you like it.

Materials used for the reading table;

• cardboard paper (a light green and yellow colour)
• Scissors
• Carton paper
• Pencil
• 4 empty matchboxes
• Glue
• Beads
• Ruler
• Adhesive paper

Step 1;

With my pencil, I draw three outlines of the matchbox on the carton paper.

And cut them out like you see below;

---

Step 2;

I stack the matchboxes to form a chest of 4 drawers, with the carton paper sandwiched in between them, like below; I glue together as I stack.

---

Step 3;

I separate the outer matchboxes from the inner one like below;

---

Step 4;

I cut out four strips of yellow cardboard measuring about 16cm by 1cm;

The strip should cover the matchbox like this below, then I wrap it around and glue.

---

Step 5;

This is the result after folding the matchboxes with the strips of yellow cardboard.

---

Step 6;

It's time to cover the matchboxes and carton paper, with the light green cardboard to improve the aesthetics.

---

Step 7;

I cut the cardboard paper to enable me cover the rough edges.

---

Step 8;

This is what I get after covering the matchboxes with cardboard paper.

Step 9;

Then I cut out the carton paper to make the table top and fold with cardboard paper, using glue.

---

Step 10;

Then I glue the table top to the matchboxes chest of drawers as shown below.

---

Step 11;

I form the legs of the table by rolling up the cardboard papers.

---

Step 12;

Then I glue the legs to the table.

---

Step 13;

Then I glue little pieces of paper to form the knobs of the drawers.

Step 14;

I attach the beads to the legs of the table, for stability.

---

Step 15;

I cut out two smaller rectangular shapes as shelves and folds them with cardboard paper.

Step 16;

Then I glue the first shelve to the bottom.

And then I glue the second shelve to the upper part.

---

Then the final result;

I hope you like it!
