We decided to do a simple crafty project to start the holidays. I wanted to do something with construction paper and ended up making this cute little toy shelf. Later I sat out to write the materials needed at the back of the shelf. I like my teeny tiny shelf.
How I did it? Well, Take a large construction sheet and glue the ends together so they make a cylinder. Then flatten it so it makes a flat rectangle. Fold it in half again (a hamburger fold). On one half draw vertical lines at 1 inch intervals. Cut along the lines. Now make the paper into a cuboid and fold in alternate cuts so they make the shelves. Then insert square papers between the shelves to give a base for each shelf. Your beautiful toy shelf is ready for playing/display. You can decorate yours with wood pattern wrappers for wooden finish. Hope you get the idea.
