Good day to the amazing people of this wonderful community @steem4nigeria, isn't it a lovely day to get creative well it is and i would love to share one of my creativity with you all. As you all know it's Tuesday and I felt like creating something different which captures our country nigeria, well many of you may be thinking what that is but it is simply something we use on a daily basis in some part of Nigeria. Well in the light of this I was inspired but not by the economic condition of Nigeria but by my creativeness to make an auto rickshaw or as many Nigerian would call it Keke out of cardboard and I was amazed with the result i got, stay tuned for more creativity.

MATERIALS USED

Some of the materials I made used of in creating this craft are

1 carton/cardboard
2 gum
3 scissors
4 pencil and
5 ruler

STEPS IN MAKING IT

step 1

Firstly I gathered all my materials needed and I started by cutting and carving out my carton to the required shape I want.

step 2

After doing that, I then gum the carved carton together and made the seats inside of the keke.

step 3

After making that part, I then went ahead to construct the driver's seat and the inside framework of the keke.
