Design Your Own Car! Ideas…

Design Idea: Do You Want to be able to Wear Your Car?

To do:

Cut off the bottom of the box.

Poke holes and tie on strings…

One on the left side.

One on the right side.

Then tie a short string around string 1 and 2, as shown in right-hand picture above. This stops the straps from just slipping off the shoulders.

Design Idea: Wheels that Turn

To make: Take 4 plates. Place one where you want it to be. Then use a tool to punch a hole through the center of the plate and through the wall of the box. Push a paper fas-tener through the hole, and fold its wings open. Repeat.

Design Ideas: Doors that Open

To make: Ask a teacher for a box cutter (adult use only!!!) Cut back edge of the door and bottom edge, as shown with the red lines. Then fold on the dotted line to open. Make sure you leave enough cardboard around door (in front, back and on the bottom) so it’s still stable, not all wobbly.
