Dump Truck Paper Model

Image
I made this model for Juanita who said she couldn't find a nice model of a dump truck. This truck takes about three hours to construct. Cut out all of the pieces and plan how you are going to construct the dump truck by looking at the photos. I recommend gluing on all of the veneer pieces before constructing the truck. Also bend all of the tabs before trying to glue any of the pieces together. The yellow truck bed should be glued from the top edge first, a few tabs at a time until you get to the bottom of the first corner. Align the rest of the tabs and corners. After all of the corners and edges are aligned, then glue the tabs down. For the cab of the truck, start gluing from the windshield and go downwards.  Glue one or two tabs at a time and let them dry completely before continuing. There are two tabs that meet at the bottom edge of the cab.  The tabs lay on top of one another.  I placed the back piece tab on top of the front piece tab. The cab is glued to the yellow ...

Nativity Christmas Ornament

I love the way that the star radiates on top of this nativity ornament.  I used gold metallic card stock to make this ornament. It's pretty simple to make. Glue the corresponding image together.  Glue three together, add the hangar circle on top and then glue the other three images together to complete the scene. Make the base and slide the scene into the base.  Here is the PDF. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xltTDRHj4Nu4g3fNlGiNwLpSm16ZNej7/view?usp=sharing Here is the .Studio file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X9VohZvFhCrx4myO308VKOv33zsdjf81/view?usp=sharing  Bottom View  Top View

Red Pickup Truck with a Christmas Tree

This red pickup truck looks beautiful with a Christmas tree.  I used card stock and silver wrapping paper to make this model.  I recommend gluing the model slowly tab by tab.  Here is the PDF. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cBNGwCBrweK8vsCJ4iWZIQqh3eNeDAhe/view?usp=sharing Here is the .Studio file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wgzCbTFPrME23ln1_7ckN7QXGkZRc_xE/view?usp=sharing My fleet of vehicles is expanding.

VW Love Bug Ornament for the Christmas Tree

Image
VW Love Bug Christmas Ornament with a string hangar on top. I made a VW Love Bug for my Christmas tree.  This three inch model reminds me of the time that a friend drove me in his VW Bug with a hole in the floor on the passenger side. The hole was so big that I could see the pavement speeding by at 50 mph. It was a wild ride! The curved tire well pieces are a little hard to put together.  I recommend curving all the pieces to their final form and then gluing them tab by tab.  It is a little tedious but it works. I used cardstock for the model and shiny vinyl for the peace flowers.
