MAKING 3D LETTERS FOR KIDS

Posted by admin on Sep 2, 2020 in Arts | Comments Off on MAKING 3D LETTERS FOR KIDS


There’s this untold joy that derives from the process of shaping pliable materials to form 3D structures. This feeling of pleasure is one a child cannot forget in a hurry. If you would like to engage your kids in something wholesomely creative and transformational, making 3D letters is a perfect project to undertake! With this work of craft, your kids will profit on many fronts: Learning the nuances of making three-dimensional objects as well as learning their alphabets! Here’s how you can do that!

Materials Required

To make 3D letters with paper, here are some materials that you will need.

• Cardboard or carton (depending on the desired thickness)

• A pair of scissors

• An adhesive (PVA glue)

• A pencil

• A measuring ruler

• Flat board for cutting

• Paint

Procedures

Step 1: Get all the materials ready and within reach. Clean the flat surface prepared and spread your cardboard (or other paper alternatives).

Step 2: With a pencil and measuring ruler, draw out a letter of the alphabet, making sure the edges are smooth and that the letters are of similar sizes.

Step 3: With a razor or scissors, cut out the letter drawn on the cardboard carefully. Remember to cut out the holes too.

Now, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the same letter to get two identical sides of the same letter cut out. Alternatively, you can use the cut-out shape like a stencil and cut the shape out.

Step 4: Draw a uniformly-sized strip with a ruler and cut it out. Now stick the strip to the letter using PVA glue.

Step 5: Superimpose the other identical half of the same letter linked by the strip. Apply the PVA glue to the points where the other half of the letter rests on the strip to make a permanent fixing.

Step 6: By now, our 3D letter is ready but will need some retouching and beautification. To do this, you can choose to coat each letter with a fine-wrapping paper or paint each letter. Feel free to explore different paint patterns.

Step 7: Repeat these steps with all the 26 letters of the English language, and you’re good to go!

Conclusion

Making 3D letters is a simple and fun thing to do with your kids. Not only is it cheap, but the execution time is barely over 15 minutes for each letter!
