I have always loved and wanted to be creative in life but then in my primary school days, I never took it seriously because I didn't have anyone to guide or direct me today am happy that I joined this community where I am been motivated by other creative workers or writers.
Today, I was motivated to create and also teach my little daughter how to make a cap with just common artwork. Most of the things I have always wanted in life are the creation of artworks and I will love for my daughter to learn and have knowledge of it at her early stage in life.
Let Get Started With the Main Business of the Day
I visited the Modern Market Benue State Nigeria for the art creative work but I never knew that the state doesn't have many artistic shops or offices where one can but any artwork material he/she needs to carry out any work. I have to walk and transport myself from one location to another in search of the artwork which I used for the cap I am presenting here.
After so much stress, I was able to see one book and paper shop where I bought the materials which I later used for my little child's cap artwork.
Materials I Used For the Cap Work:
Cardboard paper of five different colors.
Drawing paper.
Gum.
Cutter
cleaner
compasses
Ruler
Pencils
Scissors
Red-colored art pen drawing.
When I started the hive art cap, I first imagined the combination of cardboard paper that I have to use that will fit the hive logo design. After that, I also imagined what the outlook of the hive cap will look like at the end of the hive cap art creativity.
After that, I measured the cardboard paper by about 5cm for the cap cover protector and I also measured the main cap body by about 10cm.
Looking at some of the images below, you will see that I have already started drawing parts of the cap on the cardboard paper which is not really easy to draw but whenever you want to create any craft work, plates make sure that you take measurements of what you want to do before drawing because it will guide and make your work clean.

After I finished the sketch or drawing of the whole parts of the hive cap, I started cutting them one after the other according to the color that I want. Remember that I measured each of these parts to be 10cm except for the cover which is 10cm. To that effect, make sure that you cut according to your measurement and drawing to avoid mistakes or waste of materials.

For me to get the main curve of the front cap cover correctly, I make sure that I also measured the two sides to be 2.3cm. I make sure that the drawing was perfectly made and checked properly before I was able to cut. In the process of cutting the cover and other parts of the cap, I spent over 2hrs. but I make sure that I got the real curve correctly.
I also make sure that I carved out the hive logo from a drawing paper after I also finished the drawing with a pencil and then painted it with red art drawing pen.

I have to start the second phase of the whole hive cap work by making sure that I started fixing the cap parts one after the other which I cut out from it original cardboard paper.
I first started fixing and guming the parts from the front cap cover in order for me to get the real and original shape of the cap. After that, I have to make use of the cutter to dress the mouth of the work.

When I finished fixing, guming, and dressing the cap parts, I decided to cut out small round green cardboard paper which I used to lock the main center cap body.
After that, when i noticed that the work was already done. I have to fix the hive logo which i cut to show the full work of the cap. The hive logo makes the cap to look more real and attracting.

After the whole thing, I checked the whole work of the cap and discovered that the hive cap is ready to be presented to my little daughter and also you reading.
Thanks for reading my creativity. I will always be here for you.
