OK I've become a big fan of recycling and reusing of wastes.
Creating and making them into something new and useful.
Today I made a baby guitar box with an old waste cartoon.
Maybe some other day I will be showing and sharing other things I made with the cartoon wastes but today I will share and show you how I made a box guitar with cartoon.
It was easy getting the cartoon waste to use. This is because I happen to have many small and large scale shops around that disposes this cartoons, all I needed to do was go get them or asked for them and I got it. Brought it home and started my work.
Below I will be showing you few of the procedures of how I started and how I got to the final step of making this box guitar.
Materials Used
- Waste cartoon
- Scissors
- Top bond gum
- Tooth pick
- Razor
- Thread (black and white)
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Eraser
- Pen
Steps and Processes
- OK! I mentioned earlier how I got my cartoon waste and where I go them. Now I will show you a sample of the waste cartoon below. After bringing the cartoon out, I cut it out into the side I needed.
- Then I drew out the shape of the side of the guitar box, though I won't be showing that part but rather I wanna show you the part which I cut out the drawn side of the guitar box. I drew out two part and made an opening in one of the sides.
- Then I cut out the lining part of the box guitar. After cutting out that part, I tore or divided it into two; reason is that it will become lighter and easy to use in lining the guitar box.
- After cutting out everything, I used my top bond gum to attach the linings of the guitar box to the two part I earlier cut out.
- Then I measured and cut out the box guitar handle. Too bad I didn't take a shot of this particular step but I believe its easy to get even without a picture.
- After gumming the box guitar all together, I then attached the guitar handle to the body of the box guitar.
- In this step, you will notice some tiny broom-like stuff on the guitar; this is tooth pick, I cut few sticks of tooth pick and used for this process.
- This is how I completed the tooth pick process. I later used black pen to make small holes and dots on some parts on the guitar handle.
- Then I cut out both my black and white thread and tied them to the knob of the guitar handle to its body.
- Finally I used the black pen to make small pattern of musical notes and symbols on the body of the box guitar. And I didn't forget to attached my name to it to prove that whatever I am sharing was done by me.
That is it; how I used waste cartoon to make a box guitar.
I will be sharing more of the things I use this cartoon wastes to create.
