[eberechi01]

Hello everyone, how are you all doing and I hope you are all fine and good just as I am. It's yet another week to indulge in creativity and as always am here today to share one of my craft with you all which I have made. crafting is an expressive art that allows individuals to bring their imagination back to life and one of the most fascinating thing about creativity is that once we set out minds towards creating something we will definitely achieve it. so today I decided to craft a miniature village, a small scale model that reflects traditional rural architecture. Stay tuned as I walk you through the making process.

CRAFTING PROCESS

step I

To begin with my craft, I started by cutting my cardboard with the measurements 30 cm x 25 cm to serve as the land on my which my construction will begin.

step 2

Then I cut my cardboard in a rectangular shape with the length 19 cm x 30 cm, pilled one side of the cardboard and folded it. Then I gum it to form the hut.

step 3

I then formed a circle on a peeled cardboard and cut it off, then folded it into a cone mounted it on the round hut as a roof and then placed it on the rectangular cardboard (land).

step 4

In this step, I then cut black embossed paper of different size, One measured 9 cm by 5 cm which served as the door of the hut while two others measuring 2.5 cm by 4 cm served as the windows of the hut.

step 5

Then I made a well by cutting a cardboard with the length 5 cm x 20 cm, peeled one side of it and folded to complete the well.

step 6

Using a stick and cardboard, I formed the pulley of the well

step 7

In this step I then cut my cardboard by the length 5 cm long and used it to fence the house, then I placed stones close to the well and gum them.

step 8

After doing that, I then filled the compound with grasses and then coloured the well with black colour and the inside with sky blue colour.

step 9

I constructed a fetcher using cardboard and a light wire as the handle and then colour it back. Then i tied a rope to the fetcher and mounted it on the pulley of the well to make it set for fetching water.

I have come to the end of my craft and below is my final result.

This miniature homestead is a beautiful blend of creativity, culture and education. Through simple materials and thoughtful design it effectively portrays a traditional way of life. I hope you all liked my craft and I have come to the end of the post.

A very creative idea for a scale model. The fact that you used cardboard as the main material makes it even more beautiful to me. I love crafts with recycled materials.
