This ” mouth ” board will bring a big smile and cheerfulness to your coffee break with friends …
Drawing the shape on the cardboard sheets
Insert 2 or 3 sheets of cardboard (depending on thickness) of 70x34cm.Invert the direction of the grooves to avoid deformations (one plate horizontal grooves and one plate vertical grooves) and fix them together with pieces of special Scotch tape.
Then draw the shape of the mouth: so that the drawing is symmetrical, draw on a “pattern” a half of mouth, transfer it on your cardboard, then turn the pattern to obtain the 2nd half of the mouth.
Shaping the Shape
Cut the 2 or 3 layers of cardboard at the same time with the jigsaw and then sand the contours if necessary to obtain a clear shape.
Bonding the plates
Glue each plate to the neoprene glue, allow to dry for a few moments and then glue together the thicknesses of the cardboard.
Preparation of the cardboard strips around the turntable.
Cut a long strip of 5 cm width into the cutter in the double-groove carton. The grooves must be horizontal in order to bend the carton. Cut a long strip of 5 cm width into the cutter in the double-groove carton. The grooves must be horizontal in order to bend the carton. Press on the edge of a table and gently “break” the strip of cardboard to round it. You will need 3 “pieces” of tape matching the 3 parts of the mouth.
Bonding of the outer carton strip.
Glue the strip thus bent over the edge of the mouth with the glue gun, following the contours.
Bonding the inner strip of the tray.
Cut a 2nd band corresponding to the height of the inner edge of the tray. Cut a 2nd band corresponding to the height of the inner edge of the tray. Round this strip and stick it against the 1st, inside the tray.
Sanding
The 2 strips must have exactly the same height, sand very flat until you get a smooth edge.
Stacking the tray
Glue craft (non-gummed) with tapestry glue to the entire tray. Glue craft (non-gummed) with tapestry glue to the entire tray. For the edges, cut strips of kraft and crunch them before sticking to follow the rounded shape. Drying the Kraft will stretch and “smooth” the cartoon, especially the visible flutes inside the tray. To prevent deformation, press during the drying time.
Laying decorative paper
Apply Nepalese paper by tearing it in pieces (to give a marbled effect) and sticking it to the wallpaper glue. Apply Nepalese paper by tearing it in pieces (to give a marbled effect) and sticking it to the wallpaper glue. Press again during drying.
