This downloadable Technical Booklet, a cartonnage tutorial, explains how to make a Mikado (pick-up sticks) game set consisting of a half-cylinder box and a pagoda-style hinged lid. It closes with an elastic band and a button fixed to the base. Inside the box, a hinged tray holds the game's accessories (pencil, notebook, rules booklet). This tray also keeps the sticks separate, in colors matching the project. The result is very elegant, and the pleasure of making this piece is guaranteed. Choose the papers and color scheme you love, and, like other enthusiasts before you, let yourself be guided by the very detailed tutorial.

The explanations, photos, and diagrams allow you to create this creation independently. This paper/cardboard creation by LéNa is described with great precision, with numerous photos and many diagrams of all the stages of the object's manufacture.

This game, suitable for both young and old, will make a perfect gift. It's very easy to adapt the style of this customizable item.

The most :

* A very fluid design, and guaranteed success.

* An original decoration, in paper marquetry.

The Story of Soong Ching-ling's Mikado Box Set
“I really like simple board games: they have many advantages that I like. They are very simple to set up, require little space to set up, are easy to travel with, and have rules that are accessible to everyone, young and old.

Among these games, Mikado occupies a special place.
So I gave it special attention by offering it an elegant box, in an Asian style which suits it perfectly.

I dedicate this creation to Soong Ching-ling (1893-1981), who founded several children's charities. In 1949, Soong established the China Welfare Institute, which included orphanages, daycare centers, and mother and child hospitals. No doubt Mikado games were found in all of these establishments.

At the same time, I was looking for an opportunity to explore marquetry decorations, a technique generally associated with other materials such as straw or wood.
I really enjoyed this research; the possibilities for decor are endless.
I am convinced that new creations will soon see the light of day.
thanks to this new decoration alternative.

... Good creation ...”
