Turtle of newspaper or cardboard
A great idea for any recycling project, a combination between a pet that I like a lot and a geometry whose objective was to seek an object where evidenciaramos to a hexagonal dodecahedron a dodecahedron is a polyhedron of twelve faces. If the twelve faces of the dodecahedron are regular pentagons, we are in front of a regular dodecahedron. This turtle is very simple, inexpensive and easy to do can also serve as a decoration in any corner of our homes.
Materials: Pencil. Newspaper White Glue .black marker. Scissors. Silicon, paintings to the cold. Cardboard. Template of a dodecahedron. Anime for the database (optional).
Procedure:
- The first thing you need to do is to print or copy the template of a dodecahedron hex that easily can be found on the internet. This step is very important because depending on the size you want our turtle draw the template on a sheet of paper and just enough to enlarge the image for more or less the right size. Copy it exactly the same as with all its tabs.
2. Once we have the template we cut out the shape of the dodecahedron folded along all the lines of the template. Try to mount the dodecahedron before putting glue to be clear where each tab and hit the cardboard.
3. Begins with the template on the left (which has more tabs). Put silicon in one of the tabs of the dodecahedron and paste it where appropriate. Press well with the fingers for a few seconds so that it is fixed to the cardboard and do not take-off. Do the same with the other tabs. Is performed the same procedure with the other half.
4. Then put silicon in the remaining tabs and unites with the other half of the dodecahedron. If you find it difficult to stick you can also put a little bit of silicon in the other part of the dodecahedron to make it easier.
5. Once we have the base of the body fixed properly we began to work on the parts of the head, legs and tail. We must mix water, white glue and pieces of paper and carefully we are putting several layers giving the shape to the eyes in the head of the tortoise and the small tail. You do not have to be perfect because it is very beautiful when viewed with many textures.
6. We hope that all is well compact and dry to begin to paint, I use mustard color for the head and feet, two different tones of green for the carapace and white and blue for the eyes. After it dries in a few hours we use a black marker to add the details.
As you will see it is very simple, and we can make it to our taste does not necessarily have to be green and mustard can be creative and spontaneous and make a turtle of the color you like, put polka dots and even instead of a turtle with the dodecahedron commonly also created soccer balls, i hope you like it and will help you to help your friends, relatives or acquaintances who need to do jobs such as these, remember that recycling is also a help for your pocket.

@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.
