Shiny vehicles on a shop shelf are inviting, but how about making a shiny red bus, much like the ones you see on the roads. What’s more, you can give a new life to things that are being readied for the dustbin at this very instant!
The things you need:
- Empty juice carton
- Felt paper (any colour of your choice)
- Black marker pen or pen
- Four bottle caps
- Glue
- Thermacol

Step 1: Paint the four bottle caps to make the wheels for your bus.
Step 2: Cut the felt paper to cover the entire outer part of the juice carton. Stick the paper with glue.
Step 3: Now, using the marker, draw the details of a bus – windows, door, windshield, etc. Give your bus the design you want!
Step 4: Attach the four ‘wheels’ on both sides of the carton, using glue.
Step 5: To make a bumper, take a strip of thermacol around 1 cm wide, and measure its length according to the width of the front portion of the bus. Colour it and stick it in front.
You are now the proud owner of a bus!
