Many people know that many types of crafts can be made from cardboard. In childhood, probably, any person with imagination and the desire to make something with his own hands made something from such accessible material. Few people know, but there are people who have not given up this childhood hobby and make truly amazing things from cardboard.
Today we will tell you how to make a car out of cardboard.
Beautiful car
It will surely delight your baby.
So what we need:
- At least two pieces of cardboard boxes;
- Colored paper;
- Scissors;
- Compass;
- Colored pencil or felt-tip pen;
- Copper wire;
- Pliers;
- Glue.
Cut off the walls of the boxes and draw circles on them, these will be the wheels for our future car. Then cut them out using scissors.
Having attached the circles to the base of the second box, trace with a pencil the places where the wheels will be located.
Using an awl or scissors, make holes on the sides where the center of the wheels will be located.
Cut pieces of the prepared wire as long as the width of the future car. This will be the basis for the wheel axles.
Using glue, attach the wheels to the pieces of wire threaded through the holes. If you want the wheels of the car to eventually spin, use pliers to pinch the ends of the wire on both sides in the form of loops.
Then we'll start making the car look beautiful. To do this, use a pencil to draw and color windows and doors, then cut them out with scissors. Or they can be cut out of self-adhesive paper of a suitable color. If you have time and patience, you can make the doors open.
In the same way, you can create a cardboard trailer for her, it will be more fun. You can attach it again with a piece of wire.
By the way, if you get inspired, you can make a few more trailers, then you’ll get a whole road train.

The simplest and nicest machine
Shape a piece of paper into a square. For those who don’t know, this is done like this: bend the sheet diagonally and cut off the pieces that protrude beyond the edges. Trim off the excess with scissors.
Bend the square into two halves, then two more times lengthwise and crosswise. This will show you the fold lines. Now you can expand the sheet.
Wrap its lower ends to the very top of the middle. Then bend the lower parts of the bent corners on both sides to make wheels.
Fold everything that comes out in the end in half along the line that is located along the central fold. Bend the lower part up and bend the upper right corner.
Draw the headlights and other details on the product, paint it in any colors. We hope this simple craft will delight your child.
Car for girls
Few parents realize or understand that not only boys, but also girls can play with cars. Below we will tell you how to make a car to carry your favorite dolls in it. I think your daughter will really like this craft.
So, what you will need to have on hand:
- One cardboard shoe box;
- Thick cardboard;
- Thin paper of different colors;
- Glue;
- Double-sided tape;
- Long wooden sticks in the shape of toothpicks;
- A small piece of transparent plastic;
- Any objects that resemble headlights.
To begin, draw on paper a template of doors that would fit the size of the toy. The usual length of the legs, for example, of a Barbie doll, which girls love so much, is eighteen centimeters.
Cut the workpiece on both sides and bend the ends of the resulting template inward. We will attach the seats to these ends.
Then make cuts with a sharp knife where the car seats will be.
Now cut out even circles from colored and thick cardboard, four pieces each. These will be the wheels.
Using a needle or awl, make through holes in the center of these circles and then make more of them.
Cut out the hood and trunk from thick cardboard according to the size of the shoe box.
In turn, glue each prepared part to the car, then make holes in the box for the wheels.
Using colored paper, cover the car, then make a windshield using transparent plastic.
Video lessons
Making crafts with children always gives positive results. The motor skills of the hands and fingers, the eye, orientation in space, the ability to use scissors, the strength of the hands and fingers, creativity and imagination develop. Children repeat the features of cars, find out what parts they consist of. All this develops the thinking of kids.
Joint activities with parents also have their pleasant side. The child’s speech, ability to distribute responsibilities, and show initiative develops. If parents decide to do handicrafts at home with the boy, then they will not find a better way to spend their time than making a paper car with their own hands. Let's imagine several options for cars made of paper and cardboard.
Racing car
You will need the following materials: a cardboard cylinder (left over from using toilet paper), black and white cardboard, scissors, white and colored paper, felt-tip pen, push pins, PVA glue.
First you need to take a cylinder and cover it with colored paper. We cut out 4 black circles and 4 smaller white circles for future wheels under the stencil. If you want there to be no holes in the front and back, then you need to trace the round part of the cylinder on a sheet of any colored paper. Next, you need to cut out a larger circle, cut the excess in the form of triangles, onto which glue is subsequently applied. Then everything is glued to the end of the cylinder. Before gluing the circles to the back and front of the cylinder, you need to glue or draw the headlights, radiator grille or rear brake lights.
Then all that remains is to assemble all the parts of the paper machine with your own hands. For the driver you need to cut a hole with scissors. The wheels should be pierced in the center with a button and bent inside. At the end of the work you need to draw decorations on colored paper. For example, a number or stripes on the sides, because the created car is a racing car.
Engine
The next option for making a paper machine with your own hands will be a toy steam locomotive. It has two main parts: the driver’s cabin and the trailer. To get started, you need to prepare scissors, PVA glue, corrugated packaging cardboard, colored paper, bolts and nuts, rope and an awl.
On cardboard you need to draw the shape of a steam locomotive and a trailer and 8 identical circles for the wheels. After carefully cutting out the parts, cover them with colored paper. The application should be detailed: a pipe, a driver's window, headlights, wheels, you can also glue square windows to the trailer.
At the end, the parts are assembled. The boy will be interested in working with real tools: using an awl to pierce holes for wheels and ropes, tighten bolts and nuts, and tie the trailer to the train with a rope. Before making paper with his own hands, dad must explain the safety precautions for using scissors and an awl. The train assembled in this way will roll, and the boy will be more interested in playing with it.
Machine according to the scheme
An interesting option would be to make your own paper machine using the diagrams. Models of real cars can be purchased in the store, or you can use the example to draw your own version of the model. Using the sample, we draw all the details in 3D projection. Next, using scissors, carefully cut along the contour and bend the edges of all parts. Glue is applied to the triangular corners, and the machine is assembled.
It should be noted that the wheels will not spin. This craft option is suitable for school-age children, as it requires complex preparatory work. For preschool children, you can offer a simpler purchased version of a typewriter. All they have to do is cut along the contour and glue the edges.
Origami car
This is the most difficult of the proposed options. How to make an origami machine out of paper with your own hands is shown in the diagram. First you need to have some experience in folding sheets. You need to start with a boat or an airplane, and then move on to a typewriter. The only requirement that must be observed when using the origami technique is to carefully and evenly bend the parts, running your finger along the edge of the fold on the table.
The smoother the fold, the neater the final result looks. For the first time, the work must be performed under the guidance of an adult. These could be kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers or parents. Subsequently, understanding how to use the schematic instructions, the child will be able to make a paper car with his own hands. After the craft is completely ready, you can paint it, adding details.
You don't have to be a billionaire to create your own unique collection of hand-built racing cars.
An excellent racing car, no worse than a Ferrari, you can even make it out of paper with your own hands, if you put in a little effort.
Cardboard roll racing car
So, what will you need to create a mobile cardboard machine with your own hands, a photo of which you have already seen:
- several cardboard tubes of the same size;
- paints, brush and water;
- very thick cardboard;
- a compass or any object with a round base of a suitable size;
- colored paper for design (it will be more convenient to work with self-adhesive paper);
- glue (PVA or polymer);
- Nickel-plated push pins.
A paper machine will be stronger and more durable if you use a toilet paper roll as its basis. This cardboard tube can be easily turned into a car body, and the remaining parts can be cut out from ordinary cardboard.
First of all, we paint our cardboard tubes in bright colors - these will be the bodies of sports cars.
We cut out circles from thick black cardboard - four times more than the prepared tubes. These will be the wheels. If you don't have black cardboard, you can use non-colored cardboard and then paint it.
We paint a disc for each wheel with white paint. You can cut out discs from white and glue them.
We make circles in advance, which we paint like a car steering wheel. You can also prepare various decorative elements - arrows, stripes, flames. We turn the dried body of the car into a real racing car: we cut out the cabin (we bend one part of it upward, like the back of a seat). On the other - opposite side - we glue the steering wheel. Be sure to give each car a number and decorate it. We attach the wheels to the body with nickel-plated pushpins, and now our sports car is ready for real tests!
And if desired, with younger children you can use such cars as material for strengthening mathematical skills. For example, compile a ranking table in which the car numbers are marked in the order of their arrival at the finish line. The child must arrange the cars in accordance with the table.
Fire truck out of the box
From the box you can make a very impressive fire engine. For this we need a rectangular box, for example, milk. We wrap it in red paper or paint it red.
Glue the window, wheels and ladder to it.
We can “revive” the car by gluing eye windows and a mouth to it.
Fire engine out of the box - ready!
Now we can make from a cardboard roll.
Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to choose a good photo from all the ones in which you are captured? And all because your smile often looks forced and unnatural. Some people choose not to smile at all in photos, which makes their faces look gloomy and stern. It turns out that you can learn to smile beautifully. Use some of our tips and no one will be able to take their eyes off your glowing face in the photo.
If you want to learn how to smile naturally in photos, you need to relax your facial muscles before posing. And in order to relax the muscles of the mouth area, while no one is looking, do this exercise several times: move the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth.
If you notice that the word “cheese” said during the shooting does not give the desired effect, and your smile in the photo seems too forced, replace this word with another one containing the drawn-out sound “e”.
Mentally make yourself laugh before you start taking photos. Remember the funniest episode in your life, and your smile will definitely come out natural.
What makes up the idea of a person?
People like to smile not only in photographs. In everyday life, a smiling, charming person is conducive to communication, he is open to other people and has success in interpersonal relationships. Looking at a stranger, people notice how he is dressed, draw a psychological portrait in their imagination, translating sign language, and judge education and upbringing by the manner and style of dialogue.
However, a positive image can be immediately ruined by an ugly smile. After all, in society it is important not only to look good and have good manners, but also to be able to smile beautifully. Thus, a smile is considered as the most important and final touch in the formation of self-image. 
How to hide defects in appearance?
To know for sure what other people think of you, smile and carefully examine your smile in the mirror. If you notice that your gums are showing too much, don't open your mouth too wide. Learn to smile from the corners of your mouth, slightly opening your upper teeth. Believe me, the breadth of a smile does not always indicate the sincerity of its owner. Do not stretch your mouth all the way, even if you have large teeth or a large mouth. Let your smile have a slight shade of mysterious goodwill.
Nature has not endowed all people with symmetrical facial features. So, if you notice a distortion in the corners of your mouth in your smiling reflection, rehearse several variations of a smile and remember the position of your lips in the most successful cases. Otherwise, people may think that you are grinning sarcastically, with your mouth curled slightly to the side.
A smile trains facial expressions
The more often you smile in front of the mirror, the more mobile your facial muscles will become. In addition, this exercise will give you confidence and a good mood for the whole day. 
Correct teeth defects
And, of course, in order to smile beautifully, you need to have an invaluable arsenal, consisting of two rows of straight and white teeth. Crooked teeth can be corrected with braces, and yellowness can be corrected with a special diet, whitening gels, strips or trays. If you are not satisfied with the condition of your teeth, visit a qualified dentist, he will select an effective method of correction and whitening. Of course, the help of a specialist will require considerable financial expenses, but investments in your own health and beauty will pay off handsomely in the future.
Lip condition, makeup
A beautiful smile does not mean flaky, dry, chapped lips. Remember regular moisturizing, hygiene products, masks and nourishing balms. Men can simply lubricate problem lips with cream. Moisturizing your lips is especially important during the frosty and windy season.
If a woman has naturally thin lips, then she will have to give up bright lipstick. In this case, the smile visually divides the mouth into two thin stripes, and this is not very beautiful. That is why ladies with thin lips need to use natural shades of lipstick or shimmering gloss. You can also use a little trick: use a contour pencil 2 shades darker than the main one, moving both the upper and lower borders of the lips 2-3 millimeters.
How to smile beautifully
The ability to smile beautifully has always been valued - men like a beautiful smile, it helps in business, and we look more beautiful when we smile. How to smile beautifully, what it means to smile correctly - image specialists who “put smiles on” Hollywood stars will tell you about the laws of a beautiful smile.
So, the most important thing that those who want to smile correctly and beautifully need to understand is that the basis of a beautiful smile is symmetry. Achieving symmetry is quite difficult, because in everyday life we do not pay attention to the development of certain muscles or facial expressions, which is why most people have a crooked smile, when one half of the lips is not symmetrical to the other.
How to learn to smile beautifully? To begin, go to the mirror, smile and look at your mouth and lips. In 99 cases out of a hundred, distortions are visible to the naked eye. Hence, your first task is to stand in front of the mirror at home and train so that your smile becomes more or less symmetrical.
Let's face it, smiling beautifully isn't easy. Physiology states that for a barely noticeable smile a person uses about 20 muscles, and in a wide smile - more than forty. Therefore, training the facial muscles for those who want to smile beautifully and correctly is simply necessary.
How to smile beautifully - exercises
The simplest exercise for those who want to smile beautifully is the so-called fixation of the smile muscles. Here you are sitting in front of the mirror, smiling and, as it seems to you, you have found the very form of a smile that suits you. Using your fingertips, press on the edges of your lips, count to yourself to seven, release, count to seven again, and do five repetitions, pressing and releasing the tips of your lips. At the same time, the beautiful smile on your face should naturally remain. If it suddenly disappears or loses its shape, look again for the desired proportions of the smile and repeat the exercise until it completely disappears with a beautiful smile. Here we give you the opportunity to remember which muscles should be involved in your beautiful smile and what load they carry. After finishing the exercise, close your eyes and count to thirty, trying to maintain the smile you want, because your muscles still remember it. After half a minute, open your eyes and look - did you hold it? We need to ensure that the smile remains.
The second set of exercises necessary to smile beautifully is working with the shape of your lips. It’s hard to argue with the system that Angelina Jolie developed with her consultants. It not only gives a beautiful shape to the lips, but also helps to slightly enlarge the lips.
How to smile beautifully, or the light from within
A very important point for a beautiful smile is how natural and positive it is. . Even the smoothest smile will not bring results if there is no good mood in it. Hence, not only physical exercises are important, but also psychology.
What does it mean? It's simple - train, remembering bright and fun moments from your life. When it was easy and good for you. A kiss from the man you love, a big bonus at work, the smile of your child, buying the shoes you dreamed of. In such cases, a happy and beautiful smile pops up on your face as if by itself. There are no such emotions - it doesn’t matter, invent them. Why do you learn to smile beautifully? To meet a man? So that your business goes uphill? So imagine your date, how he says that he admires you, or a business partner/employer who signs a contract with you on the most favorable terms. Here it is, a joyful, beautiful smile that brings light and goodness.
Now do you understand how to smile beautifully? This means smiling evenly (symmetrically) and really joyfully. You need to remember this state, and then you will smile so automatically, without a mirror. And don’t forget about makeup - dark colors don’t make your face look fun and happy, and beautiful teeth - to smile beautifully, they need to be cleaned, and periodic teeth whitening is always a good idea.
