Cardboard picture/photo frame DIY

First you need a good pattern. I watched a lot of frames images before I developed my own. 

I have two frames of different width glued together, I covered them with thin paper and wooden glue which I dissolved with water by half&half.

 After it is dry I spray painted it with white and put on the wall on double-sided tape. I did not need the back side of frame because I already had adhesive chalkboard on the wall.

Good luck!

Cardboard bedside table/night stand DIY

First you need to plan desired measurements and draw them on a big sheet of cardboard. I had the following pattern with h 60; w50; d40.

If you do not have such a big piece of cardboard you can split the pattern on 3 parts as I did. In this case do not forget to leave extra (3 cm) of cardboard in the middle for them to glue together. Cut out your pattern.
This is how the one side part looks:

When you have everything cut out you need bend the cardboard by pushing in the bending lines with something edgy but not sharp. I used wooden spatula.

Then bend: 

When you have everything bent you need to glue the pattern together and wait until it is dry. I used white wooden glue.

Cut out and glue the back. It should be the size of you height and width. Now you have the main part ready.

It is time to make 2 shelves. Draw pattern, cut it out, bend lines and glue inside the box. 

It looked nice without drawers but you can make one drawer. Sorry I do not have a pattern for it. 

First I wanted to leave it in pure cardboard...:

but then I changed my mind and covered it with white paper 

then painted in yellow:

The drawer I decorated with the glass knob and yellowish fabric which was left from my previous project.

Good luck!

Upholstered headboard DIY. Cardboard.

 Simply made with cardboard, wood glue, hot glue gun, wallmart matress pad, batting and 2 yards of fabric. The cost is under $50.
I bought queen boxspring and matress but did not want to spend money on the headboard. I had left large cardboard sheets from my Ikea furniture packages and the idea to use the cardboard came to my mind.
My queen size headboard is 64" wide and 47" at the highest point. At the image you can see the dimensions.

1. Draw the image on the first layer of cardboard and cut it out. I used extra sharp kitchen knife to cut. You can also use craft knife and ruler.
2. Outline your second layer of cardboard using the first one as stencil. Cut out. Do the same with the third piece of cardboard.
3. Glue all layers together with wooden glue. To make corners firm I outlined small extra pieces of cardboard for the outer corners and gued them between layers. I turned my dining table upside down and put it upon the headboard on the floor. That helped to press the layers together firmly. Let the glue dry overnight.
4. Put headboard on the matress pad, irregular surface should face the cardboard, outline and cut it out. Glue the foam to the cardboard in some points with hot glue gun. Make shure you fixed the foam in the middle with the hot glue. You can add a little extra foam in the corners, it will make them puffy.
5. Put headboard on the batting foam down. You should have enough batting to pull around the edges of your headboard and glue it to the back. My roll of batting was enough for two layers. Pull batting tight and glue it to the cardboard in the back. Be sure to start out with gluing one point in the middle of each side and then work your way around the edges. Use kittchen mitt because the glue is very hot.

6. Do the same with you fabric. Be sure to center the pattern on the fabric correctly before glue it down. Corners here are a little tricky so better see first some YouTube videos to figure it out.

7. I hung the headboard using hardware velcro, but you can use everything you like. In hardware stores you can find a lot of hanging for pictures etc.

Best of luck!
