1. Preparation materials: old paper boxes, scissors, art knives, rulers, pencils, glue, wrapping paper and other materials that need to be prepared. Measure the size of feet: First, you need to measure the size of feet to determine the size of slippers. You can draw an outline along the sole with a piece of white paper, then measure the size of this outline, and then make cardboard according to this size.
2. Making cardboard: take apart the old cardboard box and cut it into the required shape and size with scissors. Generally speaking, the soles and uppers of slippers need two pieces of cardboard, and the sides of slippers also need two pieces of cardboard. When making cardboard, we should pay attention to leaving some allowance for subsequent trimming and adjustment.
3. Paste the wrapping paper: Paste the wrapping paper on the surface of the made cardboard, and you can choose your favorite color and pattern. Pay attention to smoothness and firmness when pasting to avoid degumming or warping. Trimming and grinding: After the wrapping paper is firmly pasted, trim the edges of the cardboard with scissors, and then grind the surface of the cardboard with sandpaper to make the slippers smoother and flatter.
4. Assemble slippers: finally, assemble the cardboard together and stick it firmly with glue. You can draw lines or patterns on the surface of cardboard to make slippers more beautiful. Dry and try it on: put the finished cardboard slippers in a ventilated place to dry, and then try them on when the glue is completely dry.
Matters needing attention in making cardboard slippers
1, Material selection: Choosing the right material is the key to making cardboard slippers. Generally speaking, cardboard needs to have a certain hardness and load-bearing capacity, but also has a certain flexibility to adapt to the shape of feet. When choosing cardboard, we need to pay attention to the thickness, quality, waterproof performance and other factors of cardboard.
2. Measuring the size of feet: Before making cardboard slippers, it is necessary to accurately measure the size of feet in order to make slippers suitable for feet. By measuring the length of sole, instep height, toe length and other factors, the accurate foot shape can be obtained.
3. Making cardboard soles and uppers: Make cardboard soles and uppers according to the size and design requirements of feet. Pay attention to the thickness and hardness of cardboard and the matching degree between cardboard and foot shape when making. When making the upper, you should leave a certain margin for subsequent trimming and adjustment.
4. Sticking wrapping paper: Stick wrapping paper on the finished cardboard soles and uppers, and you can choose your favorite colors and patterns. Pay attention to smoothness and firmness when pasting to avoid degumming or warping.
