A Quick Instant Cardboard Project

Kids! We have cardboard! Let's create something from it!
Arwen starts creating her own project: guitar & headphone with microphone. And Neo wants a space rocket. He gets bored easily and cannot wait, so I have to do it quick & fast.



Fortunately, there are some awesome DIY cardboard rocket on the internet, like this one. Easy & can be done in minutes. Meanwhile, Arwen is busy with her project, helped by Leia. Seems they are preparing a music concert.



All done! The rocket now is flying chasing Neo, while Arwen & Leia doing their music concert.





WHOOOSSHHH!! Not bad for a quick instant cardboard project!</p>

From A Galaxy Far, Far Away

 

Another fun floor photography project: Star Wars. Our kids, especially Leia, are beginning to enjoy their parents' favorite saga of all time.

 

And no, we're not going to buy any Star Wars' costumes, props, masks etc. Get the cardboard, papers, markers, glue & the scissors, kids! We're making our own Star Wars props!



We're using kids' bedroom as the floor stage. After watching the movie, we're simulating the scene with cardboard props. We decide to paint the prop later in Photoshop to save time, because the project needs to be done within a day :D

Here are the results:



Leia as Princess Leia herself, Neo as R2D2 & Arwen as C3PO. Leia is using mouth maskers as hair buns, Neo is wearing cardboard costume with a painted plastic bowl on his head & Arwen is wearing cardboard with simple face painting. Backdrop: IKEA fabric design by P. Amsell/B Wesslander 2008.



Princess Leia riding speeder in Endor forest. Speeder was made from cardboard, vacuum cleaner attachment as maneuver control & baloon pump as repulsorlift engine. Backdrop: IKEA fabric design by Helen Trast 2007.

UPDATE:
Our artwork is displayed in a Star Wars event in Bandung SWDBDG June 23rd 2012.

Off To The Ocean With Cardboard Boat

We always get hysterical when we see big giant unused cardboard. Fantasy & imagination goes wild. Are going to make a castle? A railroad? A racing car? How about... a boat?



Oh we need to decorate the boat! So we can sail the colorful journey in the ocean!
Oh are we going to see any shark? Flying fish? The Yellow Submarine?
