Cardboard Crafts: Make a guitar

Surely more than once happened to you and me and your kids are entertained for hours playing with the box the toy again, empty soda bottle or box of cereal. When I see these situations, I can not help but wonder: how can have fun with that?

No doubt, children have more imagination than me and therefore can spend an entire afternoon dreaming that a simple box is a spaceship or a race car. So I loved this idea: make cardboard guitars with the items we have at home and pull. Do you urge one?

The cardboard crafts are usually very easy to do and give us the opportunity to recycle boxes junking thought. Do you remember the cardboard monsters ? What about the little kitchen toy ?

The cardboard is a very malleable and easy to work, two features that make it one of our favorites when preparing crafts for the kids .

Materials Needed

• 1 box of cereal
• colored cords or ropes
• glue
• 1 long cardboard tube (or several small tubes, toilet paper or kitchen)
• paper
• tape

Step by step cardboard guitars

First, recortáis a central circle in the cereal box. In parallel, you cut 5 pieces of colored string or rope the same length to form ropes and pegáis in the cereal box.

Carefully you assure the cardboard tube in the top of the box using tape. You tie a piece of rope thicker at the ends of the guitar to hang it possible pegáis and small rectangles of paper at the upper end of the cardboard tube. Ready!
