Pet Shop Diorama

This pet shop diorama was very tricky to make because I needed a lot of toothpaste boxes (and one mooncake box). I had to do these things to the boxes in order to make animals:
  • cut the ends of the boxes
  • cover them with paper
  • color the paper
  • attach pieces together (like the head for example).

I cut up rafia to make the hamster's bedding.

The cat the hardest because I ran out of toothpaste box ends. I had to make my own shapes. That was not easy. I used a piece from the middle of the box and then used another piece of cardboard to cover up the open end. I first tried glue, but that did not work. Then I tried tape, and THAT worked.

I had another idea to make a turtle, but I totally ran out of boxes. So I decided to do that when I had more boxes.
