step I

First , I cut my cardboard sheet into four circle of one and half inches in diameter.

step 2

Then I took eight ice cream sticks and place them on a round cardboard which we jut cut it, forming a circle with the radius of the circle and glue them together with glue gum

step 3

Then I connected the edges with another stick and stick each popsicle stick to its edge, thus connecting them together so that it looks like a cart wheel. An the stick another round card board on its center

step 4

After doing that, with that same manner make two wheels

step 5

Then I took my waste pencil which I have gathered and cut them into equal length of two inches, make seven pencils in this way.

step 6

Then I took the waste pencil which I have cut and stick them to the edge's of the stick in vertical position, so that the wheel can connect to the other wheel , at the same time these pencil will be holding the bucket of the wheel.

step 7

Now i need to make a bucket to sit on the giant wheel. For that, take chart paper and cut 7 rectangles of size 0.75x3.5 in one go. Roll it into a circle and stick it like a ring. Then stick the chart made of a circle to cover its bottom part

step 8

Now cover the bottom of the bucket with chart paper and then I took the thread to hang these budgets and cut 14 pieces of two inches wide and stick them on both sides of these buckets.

After doing that, I took a 4 x 8 rectangular piece of cardboard and attach the seven shaped pole on both side of the cardboard vertically.

step 11

Now I took the statue that I have already made and insert a stick in the middle of it and place the two ends of the stick in the middle of the two poles. I Place it there and spin the wheel to see.
