DIY Bounce Card

Today i am going to share a cheap DIY bounce card but it is effective

instead of buying bounce card or lambercy diffuser that cost u RM100+-

why dont you DIY it which is cost you less than rm10

Things to prepare :

1. 2 peaces of sponge paper. (1 black,1 white) ps:For Penang people you can go Nan Yang bookstore,near Komtar or Lam Chan Nah.beside the bookstore got one shop selling bicycle.
2. A spray glue,if not normal glue will do.Spray glue will be more recommended.
3. 1/2" until 1" width elastic band with velco tape.
4. Cardboard as draft
5. Pen knife

Are you ready ?

Steps :

1. Stick up both white and black Sponge paper with spray glue,make sure it is tight and fit well.Then leave it beside.
2. Use the cardboard to draft the size and measurement that u want and cut it out nicely.
3. Now both of the white and black sponge paper should be stick together and become one.Place your shaped cardboard on the sponge paper,then cut it out with pen knife.
4. After you cut out the bounce card,then cut 4 loops equally on the bottom of bounce card.This is to let your elastic band to go through it. PS:the width of loops is depends to the width of the elastic band,dont too big or too small,or else it wont fit nicely.

Here is the photo

This is the white colour side,you see the 4 loops at there.

The black colour side

Some extra tips to make your job easier:

1. Make sure you have a big table and dont cut your hand,haha
2. While you are preparing your draft cardboard,fold it into half and draw half of the shape you want.It will make your shape look more balance in left and right.If not,you might get the result with imbalance shape.Of course,you can have any shape you like,like star or circle.XD here is the sample cardboard,draw like this way then only unfold it
   you will get a nice shape

   
3. Make sure the length of the band can hold up your bounce card very well.Dont make it too long.Remember,your band can stretch to longer in order to tighten the bounce card.

Any question please comment at here,I will try to solve it
