Dream and materialize your inventions✂️

In my previous posts, I told you that for the period of September - December 2021 I was doing a Management course in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Within the course schedule, there was the Communication Training Unit, taught by a teacher of Colombian nationality 🇨🇴 Íngrid Durango.

The truth is that since we liked the teacher a lot in our group for her good vibes, for the end of her formative unit my whole group decided to make her a gift. I was neither short nor lazy 🤭 I signed up to show off my handicraft skills and give her a very meaningful present alluding to the formative unit that the teacher dictated to us. Together with my classmates, we chose a little box in the shape of a camera 📸✨ as the theme of the gift, since it is a fast and effective communication device. We knew the teacher would love it.

Today I bring you the step by step of the creative process of this cute and original little box to surprise someone very special ❤️

✓ 2 boxes of cereal.
✓ Black and silver spray.
✓ 1 plastic cap from a water bottle.
✓ White, black and silver poster board.
✓ Stapler, scissors and white school glue.
✓ Flower cutout from a perfume box.
✓ Black marker.
✓ Garbage bag, face mask and latex gloves.
✓ Toilet paper tube.

Step 1. We need two cereal boxes because one will be for the base of the box and the other will be for the lid. Both parts are cut out and positioned one on top of the other to make sure they fit well. Then with the help of the glue and a couple of staples we finalize their assembly.

Step 2. To paint the box: We use the black spray and place a garbage bag on a flat surface. I did it on the floor of my house. We place the box in the middle of the bag and proceed to paint evenly and in parts until completely covering the entire outside. Remember to do this task in an open space or at least well ventilated to avoid irritation to eyes and nose.

Step 3. With the silver spray paint the plastic lid of the water bottle to simulate the camera trigger. For the flash shoe, draw and cut out 3 rectangles with oval edges. A white rectangle (the largest), a black rectangle (medium size) and a silver rectangle (small size). We position in order and then glue.

Step 4. To make the objective lens of the camera, cut the toilet paper tube in half and paint it with black spray paint. Then we draw and cut on the black cardboard a circle with a border that fits the size of the toilet paper tube. On the other hand, what will simulate the glass of the lens will be a silver-colored circle previously measured, drawn and cut.

Step 5. On the silver cardboard, draw and cut out a circle smaller than the camera shutter release button, which will simulate the On/Off button and a small triangle for the position marker. When the camera shutter, the objective lens, the flash shoe and the On/Off button are ready and completely dry, they will be glued in their respective positions on the box.

Step 6. Since I like to recycle, I cut out an image of a flower from a Victorio y Lucchino # 6 perfume that my husband gave me. I knew it would come in handy at some point 😍 and I glued it to the box to give it a different touch. Besides, as my Communication teacher is very flirty and is super adapted to today's technology, she has her own personalized sticker with her image. I took it from one of her PowerPoint presentations and printed it to put it on her box. She was super delighted and that was the greatest satisfaction for me and my class group ✌️

I hope my creative process ✨❤️ fills you with many ideas, you can recreate them and share them. Until another next occurrence 🤭📸✂️
