Miniature Guitar using recycled cardboard

Image
  Miniature Guitar   Made for recycled cardboard   I was asked to make a special 60th birthday card for a colleagues wife.  She plays bass guitar in a band and likes travelling, flowers and hedgehogs.  After a bit of research I discovered that Gibson released a new model of bass guitar in 1961 the year she was born.  I thought a guitar case would make a great 3 d card and decided to have a go at making a model guitar to put in it.  YouTube provided lots of tutorials on making cardboard guitars.  After getting some ideas I made a start. The guitar case was made from cardboard from an Amazon box.  I covered the outside with a leather look paper and the inside with flowered paper.  I made personalised stickers to decorate the outside of the case.  One is the name of the band she plays in.  I even got a little hedgehog on there for her. Initially I printed out some front and back views of the guitar to use as a template. ...
