Cardboard Cube

The activity:
Follow the provided instructions to make a perfect cube out of Hammermill cardboard.

What I learned:

  • Cardboard is a lot trickier to cut with an knife than it looks.
  • Craft knifes do not work all that well and break really really easily.
  • Utility knifes work much better than craft knifes.
  • A sharp blade makes a lot of difference when making cuts.
  • I am not very good at cutting straight lines, but I can cut through a few layers of cardboard and not all of them very well.
  • Go back to the index.
