SEC | S11W6-Share/Develop your creativity (DIY)

Hello friends we are at the last season of engagement challenge season 11 week 6, and this time around we are to show our talent in different ways. So without waisting so much of our time I will like to go straight to the point.

DIY it is an abbreviation which means do it yourself, it is what you are able to do with your hands and it comes out beautiful for sight viewing.

There are alot of things which I am able to do it with my hands and through steemit platform I am able to do so craft work but what I Know I am very much perfect is production, I can produce so many things like paint of different colors, liquid soap, tiles wash, hand sanitizer, izal, harpic, etc.

Like the paint if I want to paint my house I don't have to go and buy already made paint, what I did is for me to go to where they are selling raw materials of paint production and I produce them myself.

This are my paint production

Then recently I have make a beautiful jewelry basket for myself which I am using now .

When ever I made things for myself, I always feel happy because it is cheaper in making than buying, for like the production of liquid soap, I use some of them at home and I give some to my children to take back to school. Then for the craft I made, I use them to decorate my sitting room and my room, it makes the whole place become so busy and beautiful. So when ever I turned my eyes and look at those things I do with myself, I am always happy that at least I was able to use my hands to create something meaningful.

I think this is where I was waiting for and I will love to share with us what I was able to do with my hands.

We all know this is winter season and as such we all need an umbrella to shield us when ever is raining,so I decided to make a beautiful origami umbrella for us to use.

So let me show you the steps I used in achieving this aims.

• Cardboard paper of different colors

• Maths set divided

• Paper glue

• Wooden stick

• Scissors

The first steps I took was that I divided each cardboard into 4 pieces and then I measured it 13cm by 13cm each and they became a square shaped.

After having a perfect measurements I then use a divided to form an arc so that I will be able to have a circle shape, then I use scissors to trim out excess

The next thing I did was to open side of the arc you will notice it has two side triangle shaped which one is at the left and the other one at the right side., then add the glue to one side of the triangle and then close it back

After this process, I added glue to one aged and to the middle of the arc then add another arc to make it two pairs.

After making two pairs each then in total I have 2 pairs into 6 places and I glue all together by adding glue at the middle and at the a adge, I glue all to become 1 base.

After this process, I Know that I am 90% through with the origami umbrella, then I use a piece of cardboard paper to wrap my wooden stick then attached it to the base of the umbrella, in this place I am trying to get the handle of the umbrella.

After all that I join them together and my origami umbrella is ready for use.

The children can use it this raining season.

At this point, I am done with my work.

My advice is that you don't have to be scared if you will be able to do the right thing,what you need to do is to do some research on the internet like YouTube, it will help you boost your confidence, when you fail you keep learning and tell yourself that one day you can do it and believe me you will be able to do it.

Thank you for all the season and at this point I will call it a short by inviting my friends to join me @dove11, @jyoti-thelight, @m-fdo, @pathanapsana,@shravana
