Creating your Board

Print out the ‘card-template’ file (or create your own!). Use the template to trace out and cut the holes in the card. Also cut out the tabs at the edge of the card, we will use these later to help it to stand up.

Glue around the holes in the card up to the edges and stick pieces of kitchen foil over them. Gently break through the kitchen foil and wrap it around the back of the card, gluing it in place.

Print out the picture template and cut out the holes. Make sure the holes in the paper align with those in the card and that the paper holes are bigger than the holes in the card.

Use the ‘container-template’ to trace out containers on a separate piece of card. Glue or sellotape these containers under each of the holes in your card.

Bend the edges of your board and either push the corner tabs through the slits, or just glue them on the inside so that your board stands on the table.
