Tutorial: How to Make Holes with a Screwdriver

Step 1: Gather Materials

  • Collect the materials needed for making holes: a screwdriver, a pen, pencil, or marker for marking, thin materials like cardboard or plastic, a roll of tape, and a piece of cardboard for elevation.

Step 2: Mark the Hole Placement

  1. Decide where you want to pierce the hole on the material.
  2. Use a pen, pencil, or marker to mark the exact spot on the material where you want the hole to be.

Step 3: Prepare the Material

  1. Lay the material flat on a surface.
  2. If the material is very thin, place a roll of tape or a piece of cardboard underneath it to provide support and elevation.

Step 4: Make the Hole

  1. Hold the screwdriver perpendicular to the material at the marked spot.
  2. Push the screwdriver down through the material with gentle pressure.
  3. Allow the screwdriver to pierce through the material, aided by the support of the tape or cardboard underneath.

Step 5: Safety Precautions

  • Avoid putting your hand directly behind the material while piercing the hole to prevent accidental injuries from the screwdriver.

Step 6: Complete the Project

  • Use this technique to create various projects like the cute Ferris wheel demonstrated in the video, using materials such as tape, mylar, cardboard, and recycled items.

Step 7: Share and Learn More

  • Share this technique with fellow makers and tinkerers.
