How to make your own waste paper bin
You will need:
• 37 pieces of 25mm x
25mm x 300mm pine –
we used pine kindling
(available from most
supermarkets)
• 40mm panel pins
• Damp cloth
• Hammer
• Heavy books
• Paintbrush
• Paint stirrer
• Piece of flat board
• PVA glue
• Resene Aquaclear
gloss
• Sandpaper
Step one
Sand any rough edges
from the pieces of pine
and wipe off any sanding
dust with a damp cloth.
Step two
Form a square base with
fifteen of the pine pieces,
as shown, fixing with PVA
glue and 40mm panel
pins. Allow glue to dry
and turn base the right
way up.
Step three
Place two pieces of pine
across opposite ends
of the base, as shown,
fixing with PVA glue and
panel pins nailed from
underneath.
Step four
‘Stack’ alternating pieces
of pine along each edge,
as shown, fixing at each
corner with PVA glue.
Step five
Continue to build up the
sides of the waste paper
bin, as shown, fixing at
each corner with PVA glue.
Step six
Place the board and books on top of the waste paper bin and leave overnight for glue to dry thoroughly.
Step seven
Carefully stir the Resene Aquaclear.
Step eight
Apply three coats of Resene Aquaclear gloss to the waste paper bin allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
