¡Hola amigos de Hive!
Hello friends of Hive!

Today I am going to explain how to make a toy train made entirely with recycled materials, I had this idea in mind for a long time because I wanted to give a cousin something original made with my own hands and more of this reason because he loves trains. I used few materials and the process of building it was very simple, practical and fast so I hope you like the result.
Materiales:
- Cartón.
- Silicón.
- Revistas.
- Tijeras.
- Regla.
- Cortador.
- Bombillo dañado.
- Rollo de papel.
- Tapa de refresco.
Materials:
- Cardboard.
- Silicone.
- Magazines.
- Scissors.
- Rule.
- Cutter.
- Damaged bulb.
- Paper roll.
- Soda cap.

Paso a paso - Step by step
The first thing I did was to mark on the cardboard a rectangle of 10 cm long by 26 cm wide, and then divide its interior into four equal parts, leaving about 10 cm long by 6.5 cm wide each. Then I left a space in one of the two inner rectangles to make small squares of 7 cm long by 6.5 cm wide and in the last scale I made the square with the same measures but in the middle.

My second step was to cut the marked piece with the help of my cutter, and then join everything together and glue it with silicone. Then I glued the toilet paper roll with the dome of the damaged light bulb on top of the base of the train and at the bottom I cut a rectangle of cardboard 6.5 cm wide that goes from the base rectangle to the square that would be the cabin of the train.

Once we have the whole structure of the train we can decorate according to our imagination and taste. Personally I decided to keep the materials rustic and only applied small details made with magazines such as straws. Although you can try with other materials such as paints or decals.

As a final step we glue the soda cap in the middle of the bulb to give it a more defined look and we will have a train completely made with recycled materials.
