Show us your Skills by Creating any Craft with Paper

Hello, steemians! How are you today? I believe you are all fine as I am. I am here today to participate in this contest titled "Show us Your Skills by Creating Any Craft with Paper". I appreciate @shiftitamanna for organising and sustaining this contest. Today, I have crafted an African Man and below is my presentation.

✅ Present your paper craft to us in at least 4 steps.

Materials For Construction

• Old newspaper
• cardboard paper
• Scissors
• Paper cutter
• Evostik gum
• Liquid gum
• Acrylic colours
• Brush
• Compass
• black embossed paper.

Step 1
I cut the newspaper into two horizontally. I opened the newspaper, spread it on the table and then folded it page by page to form a paper stick using an iron.

Step 2
I picked two of the paper stick which I folded one into two at the centre to form the head and neck of the African man. I then cross it with the second paper stick to form the hands of the man. The next thing I did was to fold ten more paper sticks and arrange five by the left and five by the right of the neck to form the shoulder and body of the man. After arranging the ten sticks of paper, I tightened them up.

Step 3
I picked another paper stick and folded it around on top of the stick that formed the neck.

Step 4
I applied gum on the folded point in step 3 and then covered it with a newspaper to form the head of the African man.

Step 5
Here, I picked a piece of cardboard paper, cut it out and folded it to form a cone, which I cut the top to have a small opening at the top and a wider opening below.

Step 6
I used an evostik gum to glue the body of the man and the cone shape formed in step five above.

Step 7
I folded the paper stick around the chest of the man for covering and around his waist.

Step 8
At this step, I formed a hat. I used a compass to draw a small circle, which forms the crown on top of the hat, and a bigger circle to form the brim of the hat. I cut a rectangular shape of 1.5 cm to form the side of the crown. I joined these parts together using anbEvostik gum to form the hat

Step 9
I mount the hat on the man's head using an Evo-Stik gum. I then folded the hands of the man such that one was on the waist and the other was holding the hat.

Step 10
I gummed some pieces of paper stick around the rapper of the man to serve as strives.

Step 11
I coloured the body of the man using a black acrylic colour and the materials at his chest and waist using a yellow acrylic colour. I also apply yellow acrylic on the strive found on his rapper.

Step 12
I coloured the hat and part of the wrapper using a red acrylic colour and I cut some small pieces of black embossed paper and gummed it on the rapper.

My Selfie

✅ How did you get the idea of ​​making paper crafts?
I got the idea of making a papercraft from the decoration unit of my church, and I built on it as I interacted more with my leader "Jemima". For this particular work I am presenting today, I stumbled over a craft like like this on social media, and I have decided to replicate it with modification.

✅ Briefly tell us how you felt while making the papercraft.

While making this craft, I was anxious to see what the result would look like, and honestly, I was very happy when I concluded the work.

Conclusion
This is my article for the week on papercraft. I appreciate @shiftitamanna once again for granting me the opportunity to explore. I invite @zisha-hafiz, @joymm, @dequeen and @m-princess to also participate.
