    Author:supersoftdrink my seldom updated blog

    I took over my husband's Instructables login last year to make a couple instructables for two contests. He was only using it to browse stuff, anyway. I have different and sillier name elsewhere on the web... some might call me GlindaBunny (after a former pet of ours).

    He's a brilliant javascript ninja with never enough time to work on his personal projects that span from web and iphone apps to little robots to bubble blowinsolution to an upright electric bass f rom scavenged parts and laminated oak... maybe one day we'll have more time. I love you, Josh.

    I stay at home with our (almost) four year old boy and two year old twin girls, one of whom was born with a severe congenital heart defect and has hadseveral open heart surgeries so far. All three of our children are on the autism spectrum.

    Life is busy. We sometimes make things when we have a few spare minutes because a creative outlet keeps us sane. We both have ADD. I skip the Hbecause neither of us has ever been hyperactive, and the whole "disorder" is a huge misnomer, anyway. I love being creative, passionate, and... um...

    hey look there's a cat in our yard!

    crap I forgot to water the strawberries.

    Intro: Cardboard Play DomeI wanted to make a small play house for the kids, but I didn't want to spend money. Aside from a $3 pack of hot glue sticks, everything I used here is stuff I already ha

    I searched online for geodesic domes so I wouldn't have to do all the math myself. I found a suitable one that people suggested homeless people use as emergencyshelter, then scaled it down and added squares on the bottom.

    For this project, I used:

    Image Notes1. this is my house!

    Step 1:Measure and cut triangles and squaresIf there were no doors or windows in this dome, it would consist of:

    30 AAB triangles10 BBB triangles10 B squares

    In this case, A measured 10 7/16 inches and B measured 12 inches.

    I drew 1 inch flaps outside the edges of the triangles and squares (skipping the corners, as shown) so I could attach things together on the inside of the dome.

    I left out three of the BBB triangles to make two windows and the top of the door for this project, and one of the B squares.

    I suggest holding a ruler tightly while you slice along the outline of your shapes with a box cutter. Remember to cut outside the flaps, not inside them along the trianglsquare. It helps to cut one and use it as a guide to trace the others, then cut the rest along the pencil lines, rather than measuring every time.

    Step 2:Fold the flapsI made an indentation along the sides of the triangles or squares before folding.

    Holding the ruler tight, I traced the edge I wanted to fold with a dull corner of the box cutter (the handle, not the blade). Then, I kept holding the ruler in place while foldthe flap up, using the ruler and the indentation as a guide.

    You might want to be careful while making the indentation along the grain in the cardboard; it sometimes tears the top layer a little.

    I tried to put the ugly side of the cardboard (like the taped or printed side) on the inside of the dome. If I was folding flaps up, the ugly side would also be face up.

    Step 3:Glue flaps togetherStart with the 30 AAB triangles. Taking 5 at a time, glue the short sides of them together to form a pentagon. You should end up with 6 of these pentagons. If youmeasured and cut right, the pentagons won't be completely flat. Be sure to keep all the flaps on one side.

    The exposed edges of the pentagons should all be the B measuring side, 12 inches in this case.

    Now glue one of the BBB triangles to a side of a pentagon. Glue another pentagon to another side of that BBB triangle to end up with something like picture 6.

    Let's say the exposed edge of that BBB triangle is the bottom of this piece. Glue another BBB triangle to one of the pentagons so that its exposed edge is also at thebottom. Keep gluing pentagons alternating with BBB triangles so that one edge of each pentagon and one edge of each BBB triangle line up in a sort of gently curved

    bottom (like in picture 7) until you have 5 pentagons and 5 BBB tr iangles.

    In my case, I only used 4 BBB triangles here so I could leave the top of the door open.

    You should have 1 pentagon left and 5 BBB triangles left. I had only 3 BBB triangles left because I wanted to leave two windows in the dome.

    Stand the line of glued pentagons and triangles up so that the bottom is resting on the floor. Bring the ends together to form a circle like in picture 8. In my picture, thopen triangle is the top of the door. You might decide not to leave an open triangle. Notice that instead of seeing pentagons in this structure, you could see hexagonswith one top piece missing.

    Glue the BBB triangles, point down, into these spaces.

    Now there should be an open pentagon shape at the top, ready for you to glue in your last cardboard pentagon.

    I'm really sorry for not having pictures of that part; it seems that Lilith got into my photos and deleted some when I thought she was simply playing Tozzle on my iphon

    Now glue a square along the edge of each exposed triangle edge at the bottom of the dome. This will raise it B unites above the ground, 12 inches in this case. Gluesides of the B squares to each other where they touch. Once again, make sure to keep all the flaps on the same side. Some people keep them on the outside, but I

  • 7/24/2019 Cardboard Play Dome

    wanted mine on the inside. Whichever you choose, be consistent.

    If you want to reinforce your structure, cut extra triangles and squares to match up with the ones you have, but without flaps this time. Glue the shapes without flaps tothe shapes with flaps on the outside (if the flaps are kept on the inside). This will make a double layer of cardboard for the structure, but not a double layer for flaps. Tworks best if you keep the grain of the cardboard perpendicular; have one piece with a vertical grain glued to one piece with a horizontal grain.

    That's a lot of extra work, though, and probably not worth it. I reinforced the squares this way, but not the triangles. Note in the last picture, the square at the edge of door has one exposed cut edge along with a flap.

    Image Notes1. last step of gluing was a pain because I had to try to keep the middle point ofthe pentagon pointing up while the flaps were still on the bottom. It kept wantingto invert.

I wasted less cardboard this way.

    Step 4:Glue on little reinforcing stripsThis seemed to add a lot of extra strength to the structure without being too time consuming or difficult. Part of this I did while gluing the main pieces together.

    Note the strips of cardboard in picture 2 and 3. I folded these and glued them at the points of the open triangles where the windows and door were.

    Next, I cut random strips of cardboard, folded them, and glued them over seams that seemed a little weak. This seemed easiest if I glued on one side of the strip to opanel, held it until the glue set, then bent the strip back to apply glue to the other side and pressed it to the adjoining panel. It can be tricky to try to hold a bent strip totwo panels at an angle without one becoming unglued or something. See pictures 7 and 8 in this strip for what I mean about gluing one side at a time.

    I also glued a bottom to the door side to stabilize the structure. I was too lazy to try to glue a bottom to the whole thing; I didn't have a huge single sheet of cardboard it seemed like more work than it was worth. You can see the bottom in picture 1 of this step. Note the triangular corners from the bottom piece that I folded up and gluto the outside of the structure. One side was a bit small so I glued another strip of cardboard over it to reinforce that one.

    Step 5:Prime and base coatI was really glad that the dome fit through the doorway so I could do this outside. I hadn't thought about it before gluing it all together and was a bit nervous. Good thiit did fit.

    I had considered smoothing out all the corners and strips by coating this thing in paper mache, sanding it down, and making it a cute hobbit house or something with agreen grassy or thatched roof... but my friend said he liked the look of the strips and Josh said it would take way too long to make and to dry, and then I thought I couldmake it look like a junk space ship thing and use the reinforcing strips as a design element.

    As I said in the intro, I didn't want to have to buy anything for this project. I happened to find some clear primer and topcoat, white spray paint, pink spray paint (whichdidn't use), and two half full cans of metallic spray paint - one was a dark metallic gray, the other a bronzey gold color. I'd have liked more metallic spray paint, but wework with what we've got.

    Hey, Krylon - if you're reading this, feel free to send me some free spray paint and I'll make something cool! (just kidding... mostly)

    I generously covered the outside of the dome with two coats of clear primer, letting it dry between each one. I could've sanded the cardboard to eliminate those tinyfibers that stick out, but this was for the kids, who aren't critics (since they don't talk) and I was pressed for time.

    After that, I painted the dome white. I think I'd have preferred black as a base coat, but I didn't have any.

    Step 6:Add metallic corners and edgesIf I'd had a lighter silver spray paint, I'd have lightly coated the dome with it first before continuing with this step.

    I started with the darker metallic spray paint because I liked that color better. I kept the can moving so it wouldn't get too blotchy; I wanted it to fade from the darkenedcorner out toward the white, instead of being a definite line.

    I painted little circles over all the corners of the dome, then sprayed a line along the edges of the triangles and squares where the seams were. I ignored the littlecardboard reinforcing strips for this, knowing I'd paint over them with something different later on. Once I ran out of the darker gray metallic spray paint, I switched to tbronze-ish metallic spray paint and continued. I wasn't worried about the two colors looking funny; I knew that after I added all the effects I planned, it'd look just fine.

    Image Notes1. darker metallic spray paint; don't worry about being super even, but make

    sure to hold the can at a distance and keep it moving

    1. oops some splatters - they tend to happen if part of your finger touches thestream of paint as you're spraying2. try to work in a circular or spiral pattern; keep the can moving and circleoutward and outward, pulling farther and farther back to make the paint fade froheavy coating to very light3. ignore the reinforcing strips for now

    Step 7:Add detail with acrylic paint and a brushI don't know how one would do this step using spray paint. I didn't have any black spray paint, anyway.

    I mixed black and white acrylic paint to make a dark gray. I had a wide, messy bristle paintbrush that was perfect for this. I dabbed some paint on but brushed it on apaper towel to get off the excess; I wanted the brush to be relatively dry for this. I first dragged it along the seams to darken them, then dragged it lightly over the facethe cardboard, going across the grain so it would deposit paint at the ridges. I tried to make it lok rough.

    Halfway through this, I decided to paint the cardboard reinforcing strips gray. Then I returned to the dark gray texturing with the large brush.

    Because the base color of the dome was white, there was a bit too much contrast now. If I'd had a silvery spray paint to start with, I wouldn't have needed the metalpowder.

    I had some metal powder in three colors: statuary bronze (really dark), bronze, and silver. I mixed a little silver and bronze with the statuary bronze to make a darksilvery metallic color, then took a paper towel and rubbed the fine powder all over the dome. Don't breathe this stuff in, and wash your hands after using it; it clings toEVERYTHING and has some metals in it that you probably don't want to keep in your body. Don't go too heavy with the powder or it'll cover up your lovely painting jo

    After the dome looked metallic enough for my taste without covering up the paint, I sprayed it very thoroughly with a clear top coat to seal in the powder. I also used a

    brush on clear coat to make sure the powder wouldn't rub off. Like I said in the previous step... this would've been easier if I'd had some silver spray paint to cover thewhite before using the dark metallics along the corners and edges. I could've skipped the powder entirely, and I think it'd look almost exactly the same.

    After this, I looked at the edges, especially around the cardboard reinforcing strips. The large paintbrush can't get into them very well. I took a small paintbrush this timand used watery dark gray paint. This allowed the paint to flow into the little cracks, etc. I painted around the edges and reinforcing strips, wiping off excess with a drpaper towel. This left paint in crevices, making it look a little more shadowy and realistic (at least in my mind).

    Image Notes1. I skipped rubbing the reinforcing strips with the metal powder. this way, ifsomething gets torn and I have to glue on more strips, I can simply paint themwith acrylic to match the others.

    Step 8:Paint on rivetsI didn't have any metal paint for this. Instead, I mixed some of the silver colored metal powder with white school glue.

    I also didn't have a round sponge tip paintbrush, so I wrapped a napkin around the wide end of a chopstick, secured it with tape, and used that to paint the circles.

    The circles might've been a bit big for rivets, but it's a kid's play structure. My friend said they look like polka dots, but I like them.

    Dip the brush in the silver paint, wipe off excess, and press onto the cardboard near a seam. Rotate the brush a little to make sure any dents in the circle brush get filin. Spinning the brush a little will ensure a good circle. Repeat wherever you think a rivet should be.

    After this, I decided the rivets should have some shadows. I had a lot of painted rivets, so I didn't want to do anything too complicated. Yes, I was sloppy and quick, aI'm okay with that.

    Mix some slightly watery black or dark gray acrylic paint. Using a small paintbrush, quickly paint a C shape along the edge of the rivets, overlapping the C onto the rivbit. In my structure, I painted all the C shapes at the lower left side of the rivets.

    While I had the paintbrush and watery dark paint, I also painted a line along the lower left edges of the reinforcing strips to make it more shadowy. That made theshadows more consistent with those on the rivets.

    If you look at the dome from the top, there's no real direction that the light should appear to come from, since I painted ALL the rivet shadows on the lower left side.That's okay with me. People are likely to only look at one side of the dome at a time, anyway... and those who gaze down at the top and criticize the shadow placem

    can make their own damn dome.

    http://www.instructables.com/id/Cardboard-Play-Dome/

    Nelyansays: Jul 24, 2011. 12:54 PM REPAfter reading this 'ible, I felt a need to create a playdome myself, you're never too old for these kind of things! I wonder how many boxes do I need to makeone for two adults to fit in. :D (Oh, where would I even put it?)

    And our new cat happens to love cardboard boxes, I could make one for her too so she would spend more time out from under the sofa.

    One idea would be to try and make this out of fabric-covered parts with velcro to attach it together (and make it easily collapsible), but would it hold itsstructure? Any ideas, anyone?

    whisperonthewindsays: Aug 2, 2011. 2:28 PM REPMod Podge - several coats should do it. I think they have one that makes fabric really hard. I'm guessing on this, but I've seen plans to make fabricboxes, and they use stuff like this. Google 'fabric boxes'.

    Rahikainensays: Jul 24, 2011. 4:20 PM REPMaybe if u could make triangle frames out thin plywood or fiber board or something light and cover the surfaces with cloth.

    I think the main point of constructing a big structure is to make it light to prevent collapsing and attach the parts firmly to each other.

    frettedsays: Jul 24, 2011. 12:38 PM REPhttp://www.byexample.com/library/calculators/geodesic_dome_calculator/

    Geodesic dome calculations made easy all ya gotta do is the labor you can makem kiddy sized or full sized like a house or garage this calculator takes outthe heavy brain work !.

    Nelyansays: Jul 28, 2011. 7:37 AM REPMaybe it's just me, but how should these numbers be read? In a 2V Dome it suggests I have "35 Struts 30.9 cm each" and "30 Struts 27.33 cm each".These are the for the structure, right? So is the first number the A-lenght and B-length the second? Ugh, I'm having a hard time scaling this down.

    boredcraftersays: Jul 17, 2011. 9:31 PM REPI don't have a hot glue gun. I wonder if duct tape on the outside and inside may work. Ideas?

    AbstractDragonsays: Jul 25, 2011. 2:59 AM REPIt might. Or you could save your change for a month and spend $3 on a cheap glue gun + $2 on a package of sticks. Walmart has some tiny but quitefunctional guns for around $3. I know, because I just picked up one after not being able to find my old one.

    boredcraftersays: Jul 25, 2011. 8:27 PM REPI have none moneys, but i suppose i could go sofa diving. we shall see. this project is on my to do list. :)

    johnny3hsays: Jul 21, 2011. 3:44 PM REPDuct Tape should work fine. Just be sure to apply it very carefully to guarantee maximum contact [no wrinkles if possible].

    You could probably get by with Duct Tape just on the outside, but for maximum strength and rigidity it would be better to use it on both the outside andinside of each joint.

    SimonRawrsays: Jul 25, 2011. 12:44 PM REPI was wondering how tall this turned out to be with your dimensions.

    Rahikainensays: Jul 24, 2011. 4:16 PM REPWhat a gorgeous pair u got there, and the idea of the dome is amazing, children always find interesting and stimulative t iny places, congrats!

    luellasays: Jul 23, 2011. 5:50 PM REP

    About 25 years ago, I saw directions for constructing a cardboard geodesic dome in Sunset Magazine. I decided it would be a good project for my 4th and5th grade special education students. They had to measure and draw the triangles; I did the cutting. Like you, I added 1" f laps around the triangles. We diduse any squares. Then the students assembled the cardboard triangles with 1/2" #8 machine screws, washers, and nuts. Because this was a reward activiafter they finished their assignments, it took a couple of months to complete. They eagerly did their English and math assignments so they could work on thdome. The finished dome was approximately 4 feet high and 6 feet in diameter. We didn't paint ours, or put windows in it, but we left one triangle at the basopen for a door. All the children (all boys) could fit inside. They took flashlights inside and used it for a reading corner the rest of the year. At the end of theyear, the fire marshal ordered it taken down, but by then it has served its purpose.

    JWPattsays: Jul 21, 2011. 8:33 AM REPBucky, would be proud of this, i ts the kind of thing that he advocated.. This is what the octahedron is good for it divides evenly at the hemispheres..this is athree frequency, about thirty years ago I built this exact configuration ( not out of cardboard ) and lived in it for around 4 years, my mother moved into it aftemoved out and still lives in it today.. Her highest utility bill has been under 80 dollars.. it was insulated on the outside of the shell with two inches of double faced urethane foam.. I like living in it better than any structure I have lived in..It was small about 900 square feet with the balcony bedroom. I plan to buildone more to live in before I pass from the world.. It will be built much like this one only out of foot thick foam and shotcrete ...Isn't wonderful how good ideas just live forever.. :) Thanks to Bucky fuller and you, your children will always see space as something different...

    jackgsays: Jul 22, 2011. 12:35 PM REPforgot to ask,, where your 'R' values in the double digits??

    jackgsays: Jul 22, 2011. 12:34 PM REPJWPatt,

    would you make a 'screen' to ''hold'' the shotcrete? sounds like your HOUSE had an even temp all year round,

    do you have pic's of your house??

    JWPattsays: Jul 23, 2011. 5:22 PM REPI would definitely use either multiple layers of poultry wire or metal lath which ever turned out to look the easiest to work with based against the cos... The R factor of the dome was an R 16 but gained a great deal of radiant heat retained and reflected because of the double foil facing.. The one Ihave planned will be in the range of an R 48 optimum and realistically more like an R 40 .. We have built several tube frame domes.. and have a9/10s tube dome mounted outside my business on concrete piers.. Its a 16' diameter.. dome.

    I have pictures of the one I lived in somewhere just have to find them or go take some more..

    jackgsays: Jul 24, 2011. 7:31 AM REPThanks JW,

    gezz, R48 is hugh, no wonder the HVAC was so low,

    may I suggest you look at a product called ''hemp-crete' .com, amazing stuff

    can't wait to see the pictures

    kmckay4says: Jul 22, 2011. 12:35 PM REPThis is GREAT i am making one as I speak....Only this one is for my dog...Thanks a MILLION for the time you spent making yours and for all the time youtook to write and share this recipe, that is so creative and detailed.. ..Thank You....

    jbarzizasays: Jul 22, 2011. 8:43 AM REPI haven't seen any of your other ibles, but if they're as creative and complete as this one, put 'em together and WRITE A BOOK! Very creative and your kidseem to be totally enchanted with it. Good job.

    wilgubeastsays: Jul 15, 2011. 12:55 PM REPThis is awesome! I wish I'd had a sweet playhouse like this when I still fit inside of one. Also, my favorite line in the whole thing, "I found a suitable one thatpeople suggested homeless people use as emergency shelter." Brilliant.

    Madrigornesays: Jul 22, 2011. 3:56 AM REPif you scale up your triangles, you can make it to fit you at any age. You deserve a play house, you have my permission to build one. Hugs to you.

    jackgsays: Jul 21, 2011. 8:56 AM REPan EMT shelter- smart idea,,if I may be so bold as to add to your idea Sir,

    one could use 2 inch silvered(one side) foam, fiber glass each section trapping in an industrial velcro 'A' as a flap. 'B' glued onto the corresponding piecthe whole thing would weigh maybe 5 pounds, tape the outside with silver tape

    would make a very sturdy quick shelter, for either hot or cold, rain, the base might be problematic, still a great idea,

    good luck with this
