How to Make a Duck Tape Recycled Robot
These step by step pictures and directions are right here that can assist you visualize the right way to make this venture. Please scroll down to easily print out the directions!
- First, place the bag or dried beans or rice contained in the cereal field. Build your robotic with out gluing something, simply to get a visible. Move all of the objects to the facet.

- Cover the vegetable cans fully with purple Duck Tape, together with the underside and the highest opening. Cover the cardboard tubes and the and the soda can with purple tape. Insert the cardboard tubes into the arm holes and fold them within the heart to bend. Hot glue the soda can to the highest of the cereal field.
- Use a pen to attract a number of vertical traces and one horizontal line going via the middle. This would be the robotic’s enamel. Trim the jagged pen edges off and reduce right into a rectangle. Glue the enamel to the decrease entrance of the soda can.
- To make the helmet, flip the plastic cup the other way up and use a craft knife to poke two small holes within the backside of the cup. Open the 2 paper clips and stretch them out.
