Airbed Box Table

For my education industrial product design, I had to design somting started from a cartboard box.
But this feature had to deal with what the first box packaged.
So after a long brainstorm I decided to make a table from an airbed box.
In this instructable I'll show you what you need and how you can make your own airbed box table.

What Do You Need

Needs:

- pritt-stick / glue spray
- duct tape
- papertape
- cutter knife
- metal ruller
- scissors
- 2 pizza boxes ( or another big piece of cardboard)
- 1 airbed box
- 1 marker

Cut the Cardboard Leg

cut the cardboard from the pizza-box or the other piece of cardboard,
in a rectangle of 18 by 12cm and create at each 3 cm a fold to make a cut which passes through only one layer of the carton (see pdf ) repeat this step 4 times.

put your legs into the box and secure it by editing some duct tape in the inside of the box on the left side from the leg so it works like a hinge
