DIY Barrel Made from Cardboard Box! Easy Tutorial 

Gracias! Estoy contento eso ayuda. :)

That's awesome you're making another one! I don't plan to take this video down, so it should be here as long as RU-vid is here. :)

Awesome! So glad you found my vid helpful.

Glad it helped! And I like your take on it to make it sturdier; very creative!

You are so welcome! Sounds like a great use for this project.

Thanks!

You are very welcome. Glad it's helpful!

@@CraftersAutonomous :vv

Haha thanks! :)

Oh that sounds awesome!

Literally the reason I'm here bro

You are very welcome!

Glad the video helped! Sounds like a fun costume.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad the tutorial was helpful. :)

Thanks! Glad you liked this project.

That's awesome! So glad you found this tutorial helpful.

Glad you appreciate it! After some research and thinking through different ideas, I have some initial thoughts. First, I'm not entirely sure either how to make the AVA foam lay smoothly against the barrel without also being ridged (i.e. essentially making the barrel shape out of AVA foam, which would still have the original dilemma of slats versus a rounded wood shape like the Ice Climbers' mallets.) You could try following the steps for making a barrel with AVA foam and then sand/trim down the edges to make it rounder; however, the open slits will still be visible. So, a different solution would be to make the mallet out of cardboard, but cut the slits very thin and then cover the completed barrel/mallet head with gummed kraft paper. (I don't have much personal experience with kraft paper, but I'll share a link that explains the basic instructions for using it. Watch starting around 2:08 for how to prep the sponge, then skip forward to 3:23 for wetting and using strips of gummed kraft paper: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VYQ159IH2-Y.html Also, I'll share a link for gummed kraft paper so you know what I'm talking about: amzn.to/2wMpB8e Again, I haven't used this specific brand personally, but it has good reviews on Amazon, so I feel okay about recommending it. :) ) With this method, I would advise you really think through your measurements before you cut so they are precise and neat. Obviously, you will want to change the dimensions from what is shown in the video, so take the time to think through what dimensions you want. The last idea I'll throw out there is to make a cardboard barrel in the dimensions you want, then coating it with an expanding foam. I haven't tried this idea, so this is only a theoretical solution, but once the barrel is coated in the expanding foam, the idea would be to sand and shave down the foam to the desired shape. Essentially, you would end up with a cardboard barrel frame covered in expanding foam that you shape. Then it would just be a matter of attaching a handle and coloring the mallet the way you want it to look. As I said, this last idea is purely theoretical, so I can't guarantee it's a viable solution. When do you plan on cosplaying Ice Climbers? I could experiment with the expanding foam idea and put together a video with my method and results if you don't need the mallet for another few weeks. Also, if you need any help figuring out how to cut cardboard to achieve certain dimensions, I'd be glad to help calculate what thickness the slats should be to achieve the dimensions you want. Hope something in this response is helpful, and best of luck with your cosplay!

Thank you!

Hey I recently watched this you tuber called The Maker that shows tool use hacks that any multi crafter (such as yourself) would find useful ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yEY2Q8e8sK0.html

Thanks!

Aw, thanks! My mom and I had found some pictures of barrels like these online, but we couldn't find instructions anywhere! So, we played around and came up with this design. Thanks for subbing!

I'd love to see a pic too! You can send it to my FaceBook page (Crafters Autonomous) or to my Instagram @Crafters_Autonomous if you're on either site.

Awesome!

Awesome! Glad this tutorial helped you out.

So glad it helped!

Inside jokes are great, aren't they? Glad it helped! :)

It's fairly sturdy, so I think it would be able to support holding empty plastic bottles. If you wanted to make it sturdier, you could reinforce the inside with more tape. Hope this project goes well for you!

I'll keep the idea in mind! I've got a few other videos in the works currently, but possibly I can do a video like that in the future. I'll let you know if/when I post a hot glue case video. :)

+Natalie Beaudoin Just wanted to let you know this week's Tutorial Tuesday was about how to make a hot glue phone case! Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for the idea!

Haha, I know! I keep trying to update the closed captions for this video, but the CC editor refuses to cooperate for this vid lol

Hello!

Jaiane Lima kkkkkk ela fala muito!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

Very cool ideas!

I probably did when filming! Haha those darn allergies 😄

Is there any part in particular that is giving you trouble? If there's anything I can explain more/better to help it go easier, let me know!

Glad to help! 😂 lol
