Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare the Cardboard

Start by choosing your cardboard. Flatten it out and remove any labels or tape. This will be the base for your serviette holder.

Step 2: Measure and Cut

Using a ruler and pencil, measure and mark the dimensions for your holder. A typical size could be about 12 inches long and 5 inches high, but feel free to adjust according to your needs. Cut out two identical rectangles for the sides and one larger rectangle for the base.

Step 3: Create the Divider (Optional)

If you want to separate different types of serviettes, you can create a divider. Cut a piece of cardboard to the desired height and width, and make sure it fits snugly within the base rectangle.

Step 4: Assemble the Holder

Start gluing the base rectangle to one of the side rectangles. Hold it in place until the glue dries. Next, attach the second side rectangle to the opposite edge of the base, forming a box shape. If you created a divider, glue it into place before securing the second side.

Step 5: Add Finishing Touches

Once the structure is complete, you can paint or cover the holder with decorative paper to add a personal touch. Use your favorite colors or patterns that match your home decor. Allow it to dry completely if you painted it.
