Paper Robots

with brass fasteners

We recently went on a lovely little summer holiday. (I hope to share some of my photos with you as soon as I can narrow them down!) We always bring some arts + crafts with us when traveling. I usually throw some supplies in an art bag, along with some ideas scribbled on a piece of paper. This time I added some brass fasteners (or brads as they are sometimes called) to the bag so that we could make moveable robots!

Here’s what you need to make these robots:

paper, markers, colored pencils, washi tape, scissors, and brass fasteners.

I left the supplies on the cool, concrete floor for a couple of days so that they would just gravitate there after a hot day at the beach.

The best part about this project is that there is no right or wrong way to make a robot. In fact, the more absurd the better!

I hope you try!
