Cardboard is a fun thing to play and build with when you’re bored. In this blog, I will teach you how to make a cardboard helmet. You’ll need some strong duck-tape, sharp scissors that are sharp enough to cut cardboard, and a box that’s the shape of this;

Before we start, tape the flaps together like this (I spray-painted mine black and white);

When you try to put something like that on your head, you’d think it’d be too long. We’ll, to fix that, you’ll have to cut 7 centimeters off of the box like this;

Then, on the 7-centimeter part, cut a hole through the front so you can see and breath (you can make it whatever shape you want, and you could also put clear tape over it);

Put them together like this;

Well, that’s how you make a cardboard box helmet!
