Easy Paper Desk World Globe to Highlight All Your Travel Destinations!

by JoopB1

This desk globe is a very nice and simple project to printer

showcase all your travels. Use pins to mark all the
adventures that you experienced. This globe is made
of only 6 sheets of paper and some cardboard boxes
so very cheap to make. The materials you need are:
printer paper ( use 120grams or preferably even
stronger)
cardboard
pins
glue, scissor, knife,
Hotglue ( optional to reinforce the globe on the inside
)
To make this globe, you could use the map like I did.
It's not explained how to assemble the 6 sheets
together but does have tabs added to the drawing.

Step 1: Print, Cut & Fold

Print out the 6 sheets of the template and join them
together, so your map is a continuous world map. I
printed on 120 grams printing paper, so a little bit
stronger then usual printer sized paper. When your
map is complete cut out the total map. ( I forgot to
add tabs to the map in this picture so I improvised
here a little) When the map is cut out, make the folds.
Depending on what type of paper you used, you
could score the paper before folding for nice and easy
folding.

Step 2: Make Cardboard Triangles

Trace one of the triangles in order to make a template for cardboard parts. When you copied 1 triangle, make sure
you draw a little o set ( 3mm or something like that) and cut that o . Then trace it on cardboard sheets and make
20 pieces.

Step 3: Time to Build :-)

Start glueing the tabs one by one and when a triangle
is in position, you can glue a cardboard triangle on
the back. Before you glue the cardboard part, make
sure you are ready in this area because else you have
no room anymore for the tab to be assembled.
Assembling is quite easy and the further you go into
the proces, the stronger the shape will become. You
could consider using hot glue to make the gaps
between the cardboard triangles stronger, but it is
not always necessary.

Step 4: Pin Your Places :-)

Now the globe is ready, you only have to use your pins these you can mark more in detail. This 3D globe looks
to mark your destinations! It could be an idea to use great on a dressoir, cabinet, table or on the oor :-)
