I am so excited about this latest project. It is a Christmas gift for my nephew who loves dinosaurs.
I started with a $1 tv from Goodwill. I gutted it and painted it with plastic paints.
The walls were decoupaged with pages from used children's books, and I painted a bit to blend them together.
I made the volcano from a plastic water bottle covered in news-paper mache. I installed a red light bulb that came from an old plastic Christmas decoration that was in a box of junk I bought at an auction. The dinosaurs all came from a flea market for a quarter a piece.
I positioned the large dinosaur near the hole where the knobs were, so there is something to see if you peek through.
This diorama cost less than $5.00 to make! And, most importantly, it was fun!
This is absolutely awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic - my son and the year 2 class I work with would love this. It's certainly set me thinking (and planning!) Sue
