Let your creativity run wild and create your very own personalised cardboard dinosaur! These simple craft instructions show you step by step how you can create a fascinating work of art with little material and time. Whether for the children's room, as a gift or simply as a creative leisure activity - a self-designed dinosaur brings joy and develops your manual skills.
Step 1: Transfer the templates to cardboard
Start your project by transferring the templates for your dinosaur onto a sturdy cardboard of your choice. You can let your imagination run wild here. Choose the colour and pattern of the cardboard to suit your taste. To draw the contours of the template precisely, you can use a pencil that can be easily corrected.
Step 2: Cut out the cardboard pieces
Take a pair of sturdy scissors and carefully cut out the transferred templates from the cardboard. Make sure you cut along the lines as accurately as possible to achieve a clean and professional result. Small inaccuracies can be concealed later with colour or decorations.
Step 3: Glue the dinosaur motif parts together
Now your dinosaur comes to life! Glue the individual motif parts of the body, such as the head, tail and legs, to the main body of your dinosaur. Use a handicraft glue that dries quickly and sticks well. Make sure that the parts are correctly aligned so that your dinosaur looks harmonious.
Step 4: Attach the wobbly eyes
Another highlight is attaching the wobbly eyes. Place it in the intended position on the dino's head and attach it with glue. The wobbly eyes give your dinosaur a charming liveliness and make it a real eye-catcher.
Step 5: Cut along the dotted line
To give your dinosaur the perfect shape, cut along the dotted line. This is usually marked with scissors as a simple symbol so that you can easily find it. Be particularly careful here too so that the dinosaur retains its stable proportions.
Step 6: Assemble the dinosaur
To finish off, the legs and body of the dinosaur are simply plugged together. The construction is so simple that you don't need any other tools. Make sure that all parts are firmly attached so that your dinosaur stands securely and can be admired without any problems.
