Wow chess project: How to make a rolled paper chess set!
Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2011
Hi everyone,
It's amazing what chess lovers can do. We were truly stumped by this project and wondered how creative and hard work it must be - creating a full chess set with rolled paper!!!
We found this DIY project at this link.
Rolled paper chess set
The paper used was tightly rolled strips in black and cream, a paper monogram, sealant and lacquer. If any of you make this project do let us know with photographs.
The pieces range from 3/4″ to 2″ in height. The board squares are 3/4″. The box is a portable 6-3/4″ square. I began each piece with the strip for the shaft, and moved outwards at the base and at the top. For glue, very light cardstock — 65 lb stock is sufficient, any thicker would not roll well, and any thinner would take an eternity to build up. Do not forget to apply a sealant.
