How to make a Simple Compact Car using Cardboard Box

 

WELCOME TO RAEIMA'S PASSION

                         There is one event conducted from my daughter's school for making an Emergency vehicle using a cardboard box, and they provided all required items such as cardboard, chart paper, glue. First, I made an Ambulance Car with one large rectangular and small square cardboard box. Then I made a Police Car with one small rectangular and square box.

                        Seeing this all, my daughter asked me to make a car for herself 😀, Hmm, I was thinking how to make a car for her to handle easy. At last, I made a car by one square cardboard box with less weight and attached the rope in the both sides of the car, so she can hold it easily.

Step-by-step instructions with images for making a Compact Car:

First, I choose a small square cardboard box with less weight for making this compact car so my daughter can able to hold it easily.

Now, I turned the bottom of the box and cut the all flaps in the bottom. These flaps I will use in the car's front as a bumper.

I measured 5 cm in the top and 15 cm in the bottom of flaps. Then I have done the same process in the both sides of the box.

Trim the both sides as per the measurement.then we can use the trimmed part in the box's front as a bumper.

Measure the 1 inch on all sides from the front and back flaps. Then trim the flaps as per the measurement.

Join the corners of all flaps in the cardboard box using package tape. This will give strength for a cardboard box.

Using the trim part of the bottom flaps, we can make a bumper in the car's front (First Join the bottom flaps using a glue gun, then paste it in the front side of a box).

Using the trimmed part in the box's side, we are going to close the front part of the car. For that purpose, we need to fold the trimmed part of cardboard.

Fix the folded part in the top part of bumper then joined it using packaging tape.

Wrap the Cardboard box using gift paper or chart paper. Then paste the window shield and tyre in the car using a black chart paper.

Headlight: Draw and trim a circle in the red chart paper and stick the bubble cover in the top of it using a glue gun. Then paste the headlights in the front and back of a cardboard box (My daughter made a flower and pasted it in the car's front 😆).

Stick the transparent cover in the front and back of the car.

Poke the two dots in the center of the box. Push the rope inside the dot and tie the rope inside the box as per your child's height.

Fold the PE plastic sack into half size, then paste it into the back of the car. Decorate by using a gift paper and highlight a tyre, window, headlight of the car using black marker (My daughter keeps her favourite doll in the backside 😉).

Hmm!!, now she started travelling through all rooms in the home by her Personal Car😆.
