Steps For Construction

Step 1
I fold the newspaper into two halves and cut it with my scissors. I then used a piece of broom to help me fold the newspaper. I made quite a number of it because it is the major material for this construction

Step 2
I fold the newspaper to form the neck, hand and body of the African woman and then tie it at the waist with thread so that it will not lose.

Step 3
I added more folded newspaper at the waist of the African woman to help have a standard height. The additional newspaper added forms the wrapper of the African woman.

Step 4
I squeezed a newspaper and placed it under the wrapper of the woman to have her legs open and to make the paperwork look balanced. I then tie thrade round the wrapper. Finally, at this stage, I tie a folded newspaper around the waist to be the edge of her wrapper.

Step 5
Here, I tie a wrapper at her chest to help cover her breast.

Step 6
I gum newspaper at the top of my construction work to form the head of the woman. I then tie a folded newspaper on her head as a head tie.

Step 7
I formed the stand for the woman using cardboard. I put masking tape around the edges of the stand to blend and cover the rough edges.

Step 8
I used a folded newspaper to form a calabash.

Step 9
I fixed the African woman on the stand and I also fixed the calabash on her head using super glue.

Step 10
I folded one of the woman's hands to hold the basket on her head and the second hand was folded to her waist.

Step 11
At this stage, I used black acrylic to colour the skin of the woman and the stand which was made of cardboard.

Step 12
I coloured the wrapper she tied on her waist, chest and head using a yellow poster colour.

Step 13
I used viridian poster colour to colour the basket on the African woman's head which brought me to the end of my papercraft.

✅ How did you get the idea of ​​making paper crafts?
I got the idea of making papercraft from the decoration unit of my church and also from social media.

✅ Briefly tell us how you felt while making the papercraft
Honestly, I felt very happy while I was constructing this paper craftwork especially when I discovered that the result I was getting was what I was expecting and that gave me the courage to push on to the finishing.
