DIY Cardboard Tool Ideas

1. Hammer

Cut two hammer-head shapes and glue them together. Attach to a rolled cardboard tube to form the handle. Paint it black and silver to look realistic.

2. Saw

Cut a long saw shape with zig-zag teeth at the edge. Layer two or three pieces for strength. Decorate with silver tape for blade effect and brown for handle.

3. Ruler

A straight strip of cardboard can be turned into a ruler. Mark the centimeters and inches using a real scale.

4. Blade / Cutter

Cut the blade shape, layer it for thickness, and wrap with silver foil or tape. Add a small cardboard handle.

5. Screwdriver

Roll cardboard tightly for the shaft and add a flat or plus head. Attach to a decorated handle.
