In this video I will tell you how I made the Miracle Whale out of cardboard.

• I translated the whale pattern onto cardboard, 2 mm thick.
• All the details were cut out and sanded with a nail file.
• To make hanging loops, I twisted a thin wire in half.
• To give mobility to the tail, I glued a thread folded four times to the body.
• Using PVA glue, I connected the loops and all the details of the body.
• After the parts have dried, I sanded the edges.

Let's start decorating:

• Using the template made, I cut out houses from cardboard, 1 mm thick, and glued them to one side of the whale.
• The stripes on the belly are made of thread glued to PVA glue.
• I cut out cubes from thin cardboard. They will depict village buildings, on the back of a whale.
• I painted a sponge for dishes with green paint. These are future green spaces.
• I painted the back, abdomen and roofs of the houses, which will be attached on both sides of the whale, with paints of the appropriate color.
• To give a natural look, I painted shadows under the houses, between the roofs and glued greenery.
• I drew a whale's eye and stripes on its tail.
• I walked with a semi-dry brush along the edges of the details, with a paint mixed of gray, black, white and yellow. I did the same with gold paint.

It remains to attach the rope and the Miracle Kit is ready!

Enjoy your creativity!
