      @ReuseandPlay  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi, I usually reuse cardboard boxes. For giant numbers and letters I was lucky to get some sign boxes from the local print shop. Other people buy cardboard boards from art store (like Michaels) or Dollarama

    Hi wonderful video
    Thanks a ton.
    But I am.unable to make it stand upright.
    I hav made a 2.5 feet big number 50.
    Getting difficulty in making it stand upright

    • @ReuseandPlay
      @ReuseandPlay  Před 2 lety

      Hi, it can be several reasons why large letter or number is tipping. It can be too narrow side, I usually make it not less that 5-6 in for 26in tall numbers. Second reason can be cardboard itself. Cardboard can be soft and it is really hard to glue it straight. In this case when you look at numbers from side and can see they are tipping forward or backward. Faced that issue onece, I put small v-shaped legs in the bottom to rise tipping side. Making double or triple wall helps as well if you have a soft cardboard. And sure send bag or bean bag solves almost all stability issues )
