Recycle a flat tissue box into the guitar's body. Paint it with white acrylic paint. The white primer will help hide the print and original colors of your recycled box.
Once the primer is dry, paint the box with your preferred colors of poster paint or acrylic paint. You can do a single color or make a multi-colored guitar.
Draw and cut the guitar's neck and head on poster board. The neck is just a long bar (mine is about 15 long and 2½ wide) and the head is a square on one end of the neck.
Ingenious Diy Shelving From An Old Guitar
Glue the neck to the body with a strong glue such as tacky glue or hot glue. The bottom edge of the neck should be positioned just above the box's hole. Press on the joint for several seconds to glue in place.
Cut a rectangular strip of colored paper or construction paper about 3 long and 1 wide. Glue this strip right below the box's hole. In a real guitar, this strip is called a bridge—it is where the strings are attached.
Place a round head paper fastener through each hole on the bridge. Split the ends of the fasteners loosely at the back.

Similarly place round paper fasteners on each of the six holes on the head. Split the ends of each fastener loosely at the back.
Cut six strings. The strings should be 3 to 4 inches longer than the distance from the guitar's bridge to the head.
Wind one end of a string under the head of the leftmost fastener on the bridge. Make a knot to secure it in place.

Bring the opposite end of the string towards the lowest left fastener on the head, stretching the string taut as you wind the string under the head of the fastener. Tie a knot to fix it in place.
If you want to make a guitar strap, cut a length of satin ribbon. Tape the strap at the back—one end on the neck and the other end on the body.Let’s get ready to rock..with a homemade guitar! This little guitar might look fancy, but it’s surprisingly simple to put together, and is made with things you probably already have around the house! Little music lovers will love having their very own guitar to play, and friends of Caitie can play along as Caitie plays guitar and sings. You can explore different sounds by using different rubber bands, and decorate your guitar any way you like. Be sure to check out the Caitie’s Classroom episode all about Musical Instruments to see Caitie make the craft, and to explore other amazing instruments and the sounds they make!
We are going to use a tissue box as the body of our guitar. First, remove the plastic parts from the opening of the box, and then paint the outside of the box. You can paint it any color you like – we used the color blue. You may need to paint a few layers to cover the pattern of your box, then leave it to dry.
How To Make A Cardboard Guitar
We are going to use a cardboard paper towel tube for the neck of our guitar. Paint the tube any color you like – we painted it brown to look like a traditional guitar neck. Leave your tube to dry.
Pick the side of the guitar that your neck will come out of – if you are right handed the neck will come out of the right side of the guitar when looking down at it. If you are left handed (like Caitie!) the neck will come out of the left side of the guitar when looking down at it. Hold the end of the cardboard tube to the side of the guitar body and draw two parallel lines the same width as the end of the tube but slightly closer together than the width of the tube. Connect the lines together with another line making an H shape.
With a craft knife, carefully cut along the lines and push the two tabs inwards. The hole should be slightly smaller than the tube so the tube will fit snugly in the hole without any other support. Then insert the tube into the hole to make your neck!

We are going to use rubber bands for our guitar strings! Most guitars have six strings, but we are using four strings which is a little more like a ukulele, another great instrument!
Add the strings by stretching them around the box, moving them over the opening in the guitar body as best you can. We put two strings on either side of the neck. Experiment with different sizes and thickness of rubber bands for different sounds! To help our guitar sound better, we have to move the strings off the body of the guitar. To do this, glue two popsicle sticks together to make them a little thicker, then slide them under the strings and push them to either side of the guitar body.
The lines on the neck of a guitar separate the frets. We used colorful tape and wrapped it around the neck to mark the frets. We used pom poms for the tune pegs, and decorated the body with stickers and gems!
