to give the bookends a cleaner texture, cover the wedge with cardstock (which i unfortunately forgot to take a pic of). tape up the last end once it’s filled.ġ0.
#DIY BOOKENDS FULL#
you can fill with sandwich bags full of sand (HA), rocks, dirt, dead batteries - anything that’s heavy. you can then turn it over and trim any excess. So let’s get building Sometimes when I’m covered up with big projects and every step of the process seems like it’s not making much progress, it helps to switch pace and get something donefrom start to finishin just a couple hours. you’ll now you have pieces that should “plug in” to your existing wedge. These DIY guitar shaped scrap wood bookends are legit my favorite scrap wood project of all time. cut that outside edge, but just the top layer and the corrugation. now do what you did before with the folds. it’s better to go outside the line here than inside the line (because you can always cut more off)Ġ8. cut out your triangles on the outer line. Have you ever thought about making your own DIY bookends There are so many ways that you can make a set of DIY bookends, options are really just about. mark each triangle to its corresponding side.Ġ7. hold in place and mark both the inside and the outside with a pencil. use the wedge as a stencil on another piece of cardboard. mark each side of your wedge with a number or a symbol or a nickname or something, so you know which side is which later (when you’re cutting triangles)Ġ6. use the lip you cut out of the bottom to line-up a flush edge. fold together and tape to make your wedge. and then again at the tip (bottom) of the main piece.Ġ4. repeat this with the other mark on your main piece. DON’T CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. just cut through top layer, and through the corrugation of the cardboard (the wavy middle piece).Ġ3. once you’ve made two cuts on either side of the mark, you can use tweezers or your fingers to peel away the top layer along with the corrugation, leaving just the bottom layer and a blank space that lets you fold the cardboard in on itself. OUR SIZE FOR THE MAIN PIECE : 5” x 15 1/4” (4” base, 6 1/4” back, 5” diagonal)Ġ2. cut your main piece, and then mark lines at the 4” and 10 1/4” mark (see? 5” left? get it?) x-acto cut about 1/16th inch on either side of these marks.
then unfold it to measure the pieces. we decided to make the sides (triangles) separately, so they would fit snug and custom to each end. if you want to make a mockup, build one at an approximate size to see the wedge shape.
