How to clean the top layer of cardboard to corrugations

Of course, to begin work on any project, it is necessary to prepare all the materials so as not to be distracted by this while working.

For corrugated board projects, old boxes are often used at hand. But for work it is required to prepare such cardboard, or rather to separate the top layer of paper to the corrugated layer

.The problem is that this can be difficult for several reasons:

• in the manufacture of cardboard sheets, different manufacturers use a different amount of glue between the layers of cardboard;
• the strength of the glued layers depends on the thickness of the grooves available; different manufacturers use paper of various quality in the manufacture of cardboard;
• the presence of layers is also an important factor.

There are two ways to remove the top layer of paper from cardboard:

1. tear off paper in various directions immediately from cardboard;
2. pre-moisten the surface of the paper and let it soak a little to glue "softened", and then remove the top layer.

Cardboard frame

Beautiful frame made entirely of cardboard.

Variations of this design can be very many. This is undoubtedly a plus material such as cardboard.

Using various design techniques, you can create new and dissimilar work.

The manufacturing principle is simple and clear: a sheet of cardboard of the desired size is taken as the basis, and then it is made out of cardboard strips that can be glued in completely different ways. Due to this, a unique creation is obtained.

The photo shows frame examples made in this way.
