Cardboard Cardboard and more Cardboard!



We were assigned to pick an object and make it completely out of cardboard. My object was a little pecan and you would think a pecan that's easy because that is what I thought...wrong! My original plan was to just take four pieces of cardboard and cut them into football shapes, then glue the sides and the end corners would just meet. I also though about making some sort of under structure so it would be stronger but I could not figure out how so it didn't happen. That failed because I could not quite get all my pieces the same size and the ends weren't long enough so I couldn't them to come together. So my solution was to extend the ends but the cardboard I chose was two thick and would not bend very well or glue very well. Long story short I'm starting over, I have a better idea of what to do this time so we will see how it turns out.
