Interesting crafts can be made from the simplest and most common things that you sometimes just throw away. The main thing is to show imagination. Boys will be delighted with a small model of a tank made with their own hands from matchboxes. You can make the first model with your child, and then he will assemble his own little tank army. Girls can also try to make a tank, for example, for their brother or as a present for dad on February 23rd.
It is necessary
- - three matchboxes;
- - green paper (this can be a piece of wallpaper, or special paper from the applique kit, or just a notebook cover);
- - corrugated cardboard;
- - a page from the magazine;
- - plastic bottle cap;
- - glue;
- - awl or needle;
- - scissors.
Instructions
Step 1
First, glue the two matchboxes together along the end of the long side. Then glue them neatly with paper. Glue the third box in the same way. To get it neat, make a pattern first. To do this, put one box on the wrong side of the paper, circle its outline with a pencil.
Step 2
Then, without lifting the long side of the figure from the drawn line, put it with its butt and circle this part, then turn it over again and do the same with the next side. Draw rectangles equal to the size of the side walls. Now add one centimeter to the drawing, circle and cut.
Step 3
You should end up with two pieces, a large (two-box) and a small one. Glue the small part to the large part. Next, roll the barrel out of magazine paper. This paper will work because it curls well, but it is also tough.
Step 4
Poke a hole in the top of your tank with an awl or thick needle. Insert the muzzle you made there. To keep it tight, the hole should not be very large.
Step 5
On the front of the tank, glue small circles cut out of colored paper (or white, you can use a magazine page). Glue them down carefully, being careful not to drip glue. You can use an office glue stick.
Step 6
Next, take corrugated paper and cut strips out of it, which are equal in length to the perimeter of the end part of the two glued boxes. Glue it around the edge. It will represent the tracks of a tank.
Step 7
Next, use the plastic bottle cap. It must be glued to the top of the tank. She will represent a tower.
