I did a fruit bowl for my postal present. The design is very simple - it's just a flat tray bent with the help of a strip. The material used has to be bendable, strong and be able to retain its shape.
It is made up of 1 flat A4-size and a strip of cardboard. My initial idea for the material was metal, but then it would be dangerous because it will be very sharp. Then after talking with Peter, he recommended aircraft ply, but I asked the shop and it's very expensive (around $130 for 1200 x 1200). So another material recommended to try using was laminex, which was also too expensive. Therefore, I tried using polypropelene, but it wasn't strong enough. So I had to use cardboard.
