Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to see how to make this cannon very simple to make and that we can use to play and invent different stories, about pirates for example. Or we can also use it to give away now that Father's Day is approaching.
Do you want to see how you can do it?
Materials that we will need to make our cannon
- 1 cardboard toilet paper roll
- 1 Cardboard bovine (they are usually those bovines in which threads or craft ropes are coiled) if you do not have these bovines it can be done with half a roll of cardboard toilet paper and two circles of cardboard glued on each end
- Multi-color markers
Hands on craft
- The first thing we are going to do is clean up any paper scraps that may remain on the cardboard and if there are traces of glue on the bovine.
- Once that's done, we're going to choose what color we want for our cannon. We recommend some dark color, but not too dark so that later you can make some decorative details. If we want we can also paint the bovine that will be the wheels of our cannon. However, if they are the color of the cardboard and a uniform color, it is not necessary to paint them.
- We will wait until the cardboard tube is dry before make the decoration at both ends with a darker marker. We can do lines or dots around each end for example.
- When we have everything ready, it is time to ride the cannon. We can put a drop of silicone on each part where the two pieces meet. However, we recommend not gluing the pieces as this allows more mobility and to be able to put the cannon in one way each time.
And ready! We already have our cannon ready to play or give away.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
