INTRODUCTION
hello friends welcome to my blog, I remain your girl @mesola, I have decided to join this contest do it yourself, a very nice contest organized by @ngoenyi.
My today entry is on the topic, do it yourself.... is all about me using cardboard paper to make a beautiful mat for my kids.
Material used in making the mat are;
- Two cardboard paper ( white and blue)
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Paper gum
Steps
The steps I use was so simple for one to follow,
What I did first was to get a measurement of all equal size cardboard, then I use ruler to measure 2mm in one of the cardboard, and then I use pencil to get the line so that it will be very easy for me, 5ge total lines I got was about 23.
The next steps I use; after getting the lines done, I folded it to rectangular shape so that it will be easy for me to get the line edge to adge from the paper.
Before cutting I make sure that at the adge of the paper, I remain like 1 inch so that it will hold the paper then I cut the lines that was marked to the vertical lines, after cutting, I unfold the paper to see if it was on the straight lines.
- Next steps
After getting the first one done I keep is aside then I did the same thing to the white cardboard, but this time,I slit the paper out so that I will be able to use it to weave the mat.
I now had to weave the paper slits
I Weave the paper strips into the slits cut in the placemat. What I did was to start from the back, then I bring the first strip up through the first slit and down the second slits,
I continue like that until I Weave the paper strips to the finish lines, then I use paper gum to gum the adges so that it won't pull out.
conclusion
This paper can be use as children home work, so is for the parents to learn how they do it so that they can teach their children.
I will invite @dequeen, @okere-blessing and m-fdo to join us in the contest.
