Made an engine for my kid's first fancy dress presentation

Hello friends !

I am a mother and now my new journey has started with my son , a journey of art and craft , diy for which I am so excited.

This week there is a culmination celebration in my kid school of letters T ,L ,I ,E ,H ,F . For that each child has dress up as something that begins with their assined letter. My kid assined with letter E . And

My kid's favourite is engine , so I quickly decide to make a engine for him . I searched for some idea and work with one .

I captured step by step pictures and all details i want to share with you all .

HOW TO MAKE :

step 1 :

First took a cardboard box which is rectangle in shape and thick . Cut from up and down side . Make it a open box like this and cover all sides with the paper sheet . I used blue color, because it is a dark and attractive colour.

It took almost 40 minutes to cover all sides and 2 big sheets . Here the box is ready .

Step 2 :

Now it's time to make wheels of the train. For that again I used leftover card board and make circle of the size of cellotape , mark with that on cardboard and cut in the circle shape .

Now i paint the circle with the red aryclic color from both side.

After 10 minutes with the black marker i made these lines to give it a wheel design.

In all process my son and hubby helped me , and this way we spent some quality time together.

Step 3 :

It’s a while i draw some drawings so this time I print some designs of engine .

I make it front side .

And another sides i paste these stickers and one side write my son name and make some designs.

Step 4 :

Now with the help of fevicol i attached the wheels , 3 on left side and 3 on the right , like this :

Here you can see how attractive it is looking.

Now because it was a show and tell , so i made hanging . So my kid can carry it easily and give their first presentation .

With the help of punching machine we make the holls and tied that rope or cord .

And the engine is Ready . My kid like it so much and he played with it for some time .

It took almost 4 hours, but when we saw the happiness on my kid face , i feel so reflex and happy.

And in the school, everyone like it and his first presentation or fancy dress become good and memorable.

Hope you also like it 😀.
