The best glues for dioramas are Super glue, white glue and TiteBond ll. I use both for different purposes, the TiteBond for attaching parts to the base and Super for building trees etc. and the white glue for attaching grass.

What materials are needed to create your own jigsaw puzzle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Copy centers have precut puzzles that photos can be copied onto using a heating fusing process. This may also be able to be done at Walgreens. Heavy duty diecut patterns can be made also. A rubber stamp maker may be useful for this. They are expensive, but they last forever.

How many crayon where in the first box of Crayola crayon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most people believe there were eight colors but in reality, Binney & Smith (the name of the company that produced the Crayola product at that time) had an entire catalog of crayon boxes with every size from 6 colors to 30 colors. The largest size of named colors was a 28-color box called the Crayola No 51 and the colors were numbered on their wrappers and then the numbers had color names on the box. They did produce a 30-color box but the crayons didn't have wrappers on them and so the colors couldn't be tracked back to what color names they actually were. It was common to not put wrappers on crayons sold to artists.

How do you make people out of playdough?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To make people is simple and complicated.

1.) Find a picture of the person you are planning to make. If its a random person try to sketch out what you want to look like.

2.) Get all the colors that are going to be in the person.

3.) Roll a ball for the head and a long oval. Flatten the end of the oval so the person will stand. Also, flatten the whole oval a bit so it looks like a ovalish rectangle.

4.) Pinch a small section in the middle of the face for the nose. Then, use your pinkies or finger to make indents on both sides of the nose and a little above look at your own face to see what a nose looks like and where the eyes should be.

5.) Take the oval you rolled out and almost have way, use a knife or tooth pick to cut a slit not not all the way down (The oval should be quit thick so it can stand)

6.) Make to more the same size ovals for the hands. Make the hands do what ever you want them to. Be creative!

7.) Draw on with a tooth pick the clothes and all that. You could also add on peices to the person to look like clothes.

8.) Add on thee hair. Either roll out worm shapes and put them on peice by peice (would look more real) Or flatten a large peice of play doh and stick it on the head then do scratch marks.

9.) Add the details on the details on the eyes and the mouth.

10. Conect all the peices.

TIPS

1. Scrath both peices before connectibg to ensure they stick.

2. Squish play doh ALOT in hands then roll into a ball. This will get ride of most cracks.

3. Ley play doh dry in open DRY places.

4. Poke small little holes in random places to dry faster.

5. Put a tooth pick in the bottom of the person so keep them up.

WARNINGS

1 Play doh might get salty when drying.

2 Dont poke a lot or too deep of holes because your creation might look weird or collapes.

3 If your hands arent clean, dust and other colors will get in to your creation.

Hope this was helpful!

What is corn dolly made out of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Corn Dolly!

Well, I can make a yarn dolly. They should be pretty similar. First, you take a long stalk of corn, and wind it around a piece of cardboard an inch in width as many times as it will allow. Remove the cardboard. Next, tie another piece of straw in the place you want the neck to be and one about a centimeter from the top of the head. Cut the fold of straw at the top and bottom of the dolly. Take 3 strands of straw below the neck. Make a tight braid for each. It should now look like a doll with a head, two arms, and a ghost-like body. Tie a piece of straw where you want the legs to begin. Braid all remaining straw into two legs below the new tie. Tada! You should now have a straw dolly!

How do you make a ball out of paper mache?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably the best way to make a paper mache ball is to first plan what size of ball you wish and what kind of frame you will use to shape it. Many like to use balloons which can be popped after the paper mache has dried, leaving a shell. Balloons however are rarely perfectly round and so others use wire frames, styrofoam, old sports balls - basically anything round that won't be missed!

The best way to get some ideas is to go to "Goggle Image Search" and type "Paper mache ball" and a plethora of ornaments and works will reveal themselves to you. Some links below are some variations worth perusing.

How do you build a colonial house for a school project?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what you want to build it with. I would recommend Popsicle sticks. You just glue them together until you make a square, and then for the roof you can build a stair case sort of triangle. You could add a little chimney if you wanted to. Don't forget doors or windows!(seperate answer) Linkin Logs are Fun, And they come with doors and windows.

How do you make a school bus with waste materials?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It takes careful planning to create a mode of transport by using waste materials. The routes and vehicles used to go short and long distances have to be the quickest and least invasive, especially when passing by residential areas. Many places are actively trying to figure out easier waste disposal methods or reusable methods to cut down on the amount of waste transportation.
