Greetings friends! How are you today? I believe you are all fine as I am. I appreciate @shiftitamanna and the Steem For Bangladesh for organising and sustaining this special contest titled "Show us your Skills by Creating any Craft with Paper". Today, I made a craft of "Bullock Cart" using a waste carton and I believe you will all like it.

Step 1
I began by constructing the wheel of the cart. I used a compass to construct three circles and all of them had the same centre. One of the circle is very small and the other two are big. I then designed how the wheel would look on the circle.

Step 2
I used my paper cutter to cut out some parts of the design, as shown below.

Step 3
I drew another circle, which is very small, and then cut it out using my scissors. I gummed the circle at the centre of the constructed wheel, which made the wheel construction complete.

Step 4
The next thing I constructed was the cockpit. I measure the base of the cock pit to be 16cm by 11cm. I also cut some cardboard to be 1.5cm wide to form the pillars and bars of the cockpit

Step 5
I glue all the measurements taken in Step 4 above to form the cockpit

Step 6
I cut two cartons in the form of a trapezium, made a hole and glued it under the cockpit to help hold the axle. I cut an iron to form the axle and I made it pass through the trapezium shape under the cockpit. Finally, I gummed the wheel at both sides of the axle.

Step 7
The next thing I constructed was the draft pole and the yoke. I measured the draft pole to be 18cm long and 1.5cm wide, while the yoke was 14cm long andb1. 5cm wide. The draft pole was gummed under the cockpit and crossed by the yoke at the other end.

Step 8
Here, I coloured the cart using an acrylic colour. I mixed red, yellow and white acrylic colours, and the result is used to colour the cart as shown below.

Step 9
I designed the wheel of the cart using a white acrylic colour. I drew "v" joined together all through and dots in the middle of the "v"s.

Step 10
I drew two cows on the cardboard and then cut them out using a cutter and scissors.

Step 11
I coloured the cows to be white using an acrylic colour. I then shaded its mouth, nostril, horn, tail, and hooves to be black.

Step 12
I mount the cart on the two bullocks. The yoke rested on their back and I gummed it with evostik gum. I also drew the bullock nose rope using yellow colour, and I coloured the horns of the cows to be red. Finally, I gummed beads on the pillars of the cockpit and gummed a rectangular carton under the Bullock Card to make it firm.

✅ How did you get the idea of ​​making paper crafts?

I got the idea of making paper crafts years back in the decoration committee unit of my church, which I developed much later as I saw various works on social media.

✅ Briefly tell us how you felt while making the papercraft

When I began the papercraft, I was discouraged because the work was not coming out the way I expected. I began yesterday and stopped the work while it was evening. Today, I continue with the work and I am happy because the craft is completed and looking nice.

Conclusion
