Toy Robot

Finally, we head down to our last project for this month. Tadah! It's a Toy Robot and Milzon named him Max.

To start, we need 2 empty boxes, 4 styro cups, 2 ice cream plastic cups, 2 bottle caps, 2 medicine bottle caps, copper wire, popsicle stick, rectangular plastic container, 4 tanzans, poster paints.

Paint the boxes first.

Set aside the boxes and get the 4 tanzans. Make a hole in each tanzan.

Insert the copper wire and lock it.

Then put it inside the styro box. The other end of the copper wire should be placed outside. Since this is a styro, it would be easy to make a hole out of it but just do it carefully.

Then insert the copper wire on the side of the huge box.

Then lock it inside the box using another tanzan.

Do the same procedure on the other arm.

Flip it up and glue the legs .

Should look like this.

Now attach the head.(the smaller box)

Paint the rectangular container with white poster paint.

Then paint the side with blue.

Attach it on the mid part.

Paint the arms and legs.

Place the other details.

Tadah! We're done!

Arms are movable.

Max will be included on my upcoming new Our Little Corners header. Watch out for it.

Toy Spaceship

We're heading down to our Second to the last art project for this month. I gave you the clue and now it's time for us to reveal the art craft. Today, we'll show you how to make a toy spaceship out of empty boxes.

To start, we need empty Colgate box, 3 mini rectangular box,toilet paper roll, 3 empty match boxes, and poster paints. We have a real spaceship toy here and we will make a replica of it.

Get the Colgate box, then attach the 2 min rectangular boxes on both side.

(Milzon having fun with the project)

There you go...

Now attach the 2 empty match box right after the mini rectangular boxes on both side.

Ok here's the outcome...

Now cut the toilet paper roll into 2 and attach them at the side of the match box. Use Masking Tape to make it more firm

there you go.... now advance to the next step

Attach the remaining mini rectangular box at the bottom of our Colgate box. this will serve as the Spaceship tail.

let us compare the two... weeeh

Now for the head, just make this pattern on your cardboard

Attach the head at the other end of the Colgate box.

We're done! Now apply the finishing touches!

Make mini cones like these and put them on the both ends of our Toilet paper rolls.

Paint the spaceship with white poster paint as the based color.

Since we do not have gray paint, we decided to paint it black. It's Milzon's favorite color by the way.

Oh by the way, put an empty match box on the upper part of our spaceship... just for details...

There you go... our Toy Spaceship!

Toy Giraffe

Remember the "Guess the Remaining Project" post? Today, we will reveal one of them. We Will make Toy Giraffe today out of an empty match box and drinking straws.

To start, we need one empty match box, one bendable straw, one ordinary drinking straw, Yellow, black and brown poster paint and a pair of Googly eyes

Glue the bendable straw on one side of the match box

Cut four drinking straws for about 2 - 2.5 inches high. These will serve as the legs of our Giraffe.

Be careful with the Glue Gun!

Now cut a small piece of cardboard and attach it on the tip of the bendable straw. This will serve as the head.

Start painting it with White poster paint as the primary coat. Having white as the base color will make other paints more bright and glossy.

Let it dry and then start painting it with yellow.

Now add the details including the spots, the ears and the eyes.

Tadah! We're Done!
