The Secret Cylinder Labyrinth Safe
But I changed my mind.
Enter this project. A simple, minimalistic puzzle, ideal for kids, built on the base of 2 cardboard tubes. Perfect for holding your final rations of toilet paper! This project is easily built in an hour or two.
Supplies
- A cardboard tube ("But zakbobdop, toilet paper is hard to get right now!" "Just cut off a bit from a gift wrapper tube like I did", I'll reply).
- Cardboard
- Glue (I used a mix of paper gel and hot glue)
- Wooden skewers
Lock
Cut out a piece of skewer, and glue it to the inside of the larger cardboard tube. It should end up looking like this. This piece will lock the larger tube to the smaller tube.
Walls
The wall part of the puzzle uses a technique to make cardboard flexible. To do this, cut out a long, thin strip of cardboard, and peel off the back paper. This makes the strip bendy. Make multiple of these.
Walls (Part 2)
Walls 3, the Epic Finale to the Walls Trilogy
End Caps
1: At the bottom of the smaller tube, under the wall without a hole, and
2: At the "Top" of the larger tube (the side opposite of the end with the skewer).
Try slipping the smaller tube into the larger one! Twisting it right will make the 2 pieces fit into each other nicely, like in my fourth picture.
Frustrating Mod
Bonus: Stand
Glue the 2 skewers to the stand, and glue the bendy cardboard on top. The curved shape is perfect for holding the puzzle!
Finished!
You're done! Now go pull a limitless supply of toilet paper out of your tube! :D
