How to Make Ducati Monster Motorcycle Miniature Out of Paper
Ducati Monster motorcycle is a phenomenon. It is a bike with more muscular and robust than other brands of bikes. Ducati was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and produced in Italy since 1993.
Because being inspired with the most beautiful bike in the world, I finally tried to do a creative and unique project, which was creating a miniature of the bike out of old magazine paper.
So, do not throw away your old magazine. Create something awesome of it and be proud.
Supply & Materials:
Lots of Magazine Papers
Ruler
Scissor
Elmer Glue
Hot Glue
Skewer Stick
Pencil
Vitamin bottle, with diameter of 4 cm, for rolling of magazine papers
Preparation of Magazine Papers
Cut the magazine paper with the width of 10 cm. With the help of skewer stick, roll it diagonally. Make as many as possible. Do not roll to tight.
It will very difficult to cut it later. I rolled it too tight at first and made me hard to cut it. At the end of rolling, put some glue on it.
Making Tires for the Wheels
Grab two rolled-magazine papers. Glue them together. Flatten them with the help of vitamin bottle. Repeat it until you get 6 rotations for one wheel. Do it again for second wheel. I made the tires of wheel with a diameter of 6 cm.
Making Spoke of the Wheels
Cut the rolled-magazine paper into 3 pieces, one with the size of 5 cm and the other two 2 cm. These 3 pieces are for the spokes. Glue the 5 cm piece into the wheel in the middle, so it becomes the diameter of the wheel. And for the rest, glue them perpendicularly to first one (the one with 5 cm size). The result of the spoke will be cross-shaped.
Making Disc Brake
Again, flatten some rolled-magazine papers. Take a pencil. With the help of pencil, roll them one by one. I made the disc brake with 5 rotations or diameter of 2.5 cm. Repeat this action until you have 4 disc brakes, because each wheel has 2 disc brakes.
Finishing the wheels
Glue the disc brakes one by one on the spoke, one for the right and one for the left. Do it for the second wheel.
Front Fender
Make a fender for front wheel. Take two rolled-magazine papers. Glue them together and flatten them. Cut into 7 cm and 8 cm. Glue them in a cross-shaped form. Set aside.
Making the Forks
Cut the rolled-magazine paper with the size of 9 cm. Make it 2 pieces. The forks are glued in the front wheel. One for each side. Get the front fender and glue it to the wheel. (see the picture). Also cut 2 pieces of roll-magazine paper with the size of 2 cm each. Attach them to the forks with the distance of 2.5 cm between them (see the picture)
For Steering
Cut the rolled-magazine paper with the size of 16 cm. Fold it as shown in the picture. Glue it to the forks.
Building the Frame
The most important when making this project is creating the main frame of motorcycle.
Do it carefully. Before making it, draw a sketch for the frame on a paper. Please follow the image for making the frame. It is pretty hard to explain it in words. See the picture carefully. I already mentioned all the measurements and how and where to glue them. All the measurements are in centimeter. Assemble all the parts and you are finished in creating the frame. Next, attach the Rear Wheel.
Exhaust
Pick 2 rolled-magazine papers, one is small and the other bigger than the first one. Cut them into 6 cm each. Glue them together. Attach to the motorcycle in the rear right side (See picture)
Rearview Mirror
Flatten the rolled-magazine paper. Roll it, but make the diameter small. Mine is 1.5 cm.
Also, cut rolled-magazine paper into 4.5 cm and make it 2 pieces. Glue the mirror with the handle.
Fuel tank
Flatten 6 rolled-magazine papers, glue them on a paper. Make a rectangle of 4 x 15 cm. Glue them around the frame. Print word of Ducati Monster twice. (it is optional) Glue it on each side.
Seat
Flatten 2 rolled-magazine papers and fold them. Make sure the size of the seat should match with the frame. Glue them on the motorcycle.
Headlight
Flatten and roll again the paper. Make the diameter small about 2 cm. Glue it on the front of motorcycle.
Number/License Plate Holder
Take one rolled-magazine paper. Cut it into 2.5 cm. Make it 3 pieces. Glue them together and glue at the back of motorcycle (near the seat)
Back Stand
Grab some rolled-magazine papers. Cut them into 6 cm and make it 2 pieces. Also, cut another into 4 cm, and make it 3 pieces. Glue all one by one as shown in the picture.
Result
Here is the result of the miniature of Ducati Monster Motorcycle.

Making a Black Sheep Valais Blacknose using Yarn
Legs
Finishing
This is my second instructables about making animals from the yarn. For my first instructable, I made yarn dog. Now I made other animal, which is sheep.
Check out here to see my instructable about yarn dog.
Let's get started.
Supplies:
Original Pringles can (or you can use anything as long as the diameter is about 7.5 cm)
White T-shirt Yarn
White and black socks
Scissor
Cutter
Ruler
Sewing machine (optional, you can sew by hand)
Thread
Needles
Pin needles
Seam Ripper
UHU Glue or Hot glue
Small Bell Tinkle (optional)
Tinkercad
PLA Filament (White)
3D Printer
3D Slicer
Prepare The Body Form
For body, cut Pringles can to the length of 9 cm by using a cutter. Grab two white socks. Cover the Pringles can with socks. I did it twice. Do not cut the socks, instead put the end of socks inside the Pringles can. See the pictures.
Wool
To make the sheep's wool, cut T-shirt yarn to the length of 45 cm and make about 30 pieces. Group them by 3 to make 1 set of braid, so there are 10 groups in total. Tie the end with knot and begin braiding. To make easier, I use my sewing box to hold the end of the knot. After finish braiding, tie another end with knot. Do this 10 times. Sew them one by one using sewing machine. Pick the zig zag pattern sew on your sewing machine. Of course, you can sew by hand, if you wish. See the pictures.
Body
Glue the braided yarn to the body. Let the knot to the bottom of the body. Let it loose to make space for the legs.
Head
To make head, take black sock. Make a pattern of sheep's head. Make it 2 pieces for front and back sides. Sew them together. Just leave a small space to turn it over. After finish sewing, turn it over, so the outside become inside and vice versa. Fill it with sock or yarn scraps. Sew the rest of the head until all surfaces are covered.
Legs
To make legs, take black sock. Make rectangle shapes. Make it 4 pieces for 4 legs. Sew one by one. Just leave a small space to turn it over. After finish sewing, turn it over, so the outside become inside and vice versa. Fill it with sock or yarn scraps. Sew the rest of the legs until all surfaces are covered.
Assemble-1
Sew the legs to the body one by one.
Assemble- 2
Sew the head to the body.
Eyes
For eyes, make them in Tinkercad.
Drag half sphere to the workplane. Make the size of the eyes with diameter of 10 mm and height of 6 mm. Make two eyes for the sheep. I choose white color for the eyes. Print it. Glue eyes to the head.
Finishing
If you are satisfied to make male sheep, it means you are finished. This step is absolutely optional. You can omit this step. But I want to make a female sheep, so I add some accessories to attach to the sheep, like ribbon bow and small bell tinkle.
For making ribbon bow on sheep's head, make a pom pom. Wrap the yarn around your three fingers about 10 rounds. Tie it with other yarn, but do not cut the sides. Glue the bow to sheep's head and give some pin needles. Also, add and glue small bell tinkle to the sheep's neck. Give some pin needles to it.
Result
You are finished creating sheep out of T-shirt yarn. Here is the result Yarn Sheep. I hope you like and share with me if you make it. Is it cute?
