Good day to the creative members of this wonderful community, hope you are all fine and having a blessed day just as I am. Over the past month crafting is an art which I have mastered, the beauty and feeling of creating something out of nothing is extraordinary and I must say I love that feeling. Today was no different from other days but what made today special for me was the joy I felt after completing my diy craft which is an miniature cardboard tractor. Today I present to you the process and steps to create a Diy miniature cardboard tractor, stay tuned.
MATERIALS
• waste cardboard
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Sharpener
• Paper cutter
• Scissors
• Adhesive
• Evostik gum
• Acrylic colour
• Brush
step I
I began by constructing the engine cover. I first took all the measurements on the cardboard and cut them using a paper cutter. The length of the engine cover is 11cm, the width is 8cm, the height at the front is 5.5cm and the front is 6. 5cm. I then gummed the parts using my evostik gum to form the engine cover. I measured and peeled both sides of the engine cover for ventilation and I also designed the front to serve as the radiator of the tractor.
step 2
After doing that, I then measured 20 cm x 9 cm long cardboard , made the drivers space and cut another cardboard to act as a connection between the engine and driver's space. Then I gummed them together.
step 3
Next, I constructed the four wheels of the tractor, I cut circular cardboard into several pieces and peeled a piece of my cardboard and then I gum them together to look like this.
step 4
In this step, I then mounted the wheels on the body of the tractor and constructed the motor guard of the rear wheel.
step 5
After doing that, I then constructed the exhaust pipe, air cleaner and the driver's seat using my cardboard and gummed them to the tractor.
step 6
Next I constructed the steering wheel of the tractor and gummed it in the tractor close to the seat.
step 7
Then I measured 18 cm x 5 cm and cut it out from the cardboard for the construction of the boot. And I also cut round pieces of circular cardboard for the wheels of the boot.
step 8
Using the measurement I have cut out on my cardboard, I then gummed them together to form the boot and attach the wheel on it.
step 9
At this point I then connected the boot of the tractor to the head using my gum.
step 10
Finally I coloured the wheels of the tractor with my black acrylic colour and I was done with my craft.
Here's a picture of my final result
Making a miniature tractor from cardboard is an excellent and wonderful way to express my creativity while creating something unique. I hope you all liked my post, this is the end of my post and have a nice day.
