PROCESS INVOLVED

step I

I began my craft by first measuring the size of A4 paper on my carton. After that, with the help of my pencil, I drew the first woman beginning from her head, down to her neck and her two hands. I then drew her body down to her legs.

step 2

After doing that, I then continued drawing the second and the third woman to be put on the craft.

step 3

In this step, I then carefully cut out the three drawings of the women with my cutter.

step 4

After I finished cutting and drawing the craft of the women, I then made a frame consisting of cardboard and I made it into two pieces and also connected them together with cardboard also

step 5

After making the frame for my craft, I then began to gum my cardboard women to the frame with the help of my gum.

step 6

I then colored my cardboard frame with black acrylic paint firstly.

step 7

After that, I then started colouring the cardboard African women

step 8

Here I then used my white poster colour which I bought to draw the necklaces, earrings, edge of the women rappers, head tie hand bangles and leg beads to give it a touch of African beauty.

After carefully crafting everything out, this is my final result which I am presenting to you all
