hi i'm paperboyo and i have an instagram
page where i use paper cutouts to
transform landscapes and landmarks
around the world into something entirely
different and it's been a really fun way
to travel and create some really unique
and fun photos so i wanted to share a
few ideas that you can try at home
yourself so i brought you to hyde park
here in london today for an idea i want
to show you and we've got the serpentine
lake over there so let me take you over
there and i'll show you what we're going
to do today
so i'm going to show you how to make a
whale cut out
so you're going to need some black card
you're going to need a clip art image of
a whale tail if you just go on the
internet and type in uh whale tail
silhouette you'll find that uh some
pritt stick and also some small scissors
i prefer small scissors because you can
get more details with that if you've got
big scissors it's fine i'd also
recommend getting an adult to help you
cut them out you know just to get the
nice details and stuff so what i'm going
to do i'm going to take the glue and i'm
going to put a little bit of glue not
too much on the back of the silhouette
and i'm going to glue that down you
don't want to put too much glue on it
now because later on you're going to
want to peel it off
and then we're just going to cut around
the silhouette
and then this is the reason you don't
want to put too much glue on because you
want to peel that away
and here's the final cutout here's the
whaletail silhouette so let's go and put
it into action
now here's the fun bit so we've got our
whale tail cut out got my camera you can
use any camera or even the camera on
your phone doesn't matter and we're
gonna hold it up in front of the water
so i'm going to crouch down for this
actually
and just hold out in front of you and
then line it up and make it look like
it's coming out the water by the way if
you're going to take this photo near
like the sea or a river or a lake or
anything make sure you've got an adult
with you to make sure that you stay dry
no this is a really fun idea to like do
pretty much anywhere like the swimming
pool or the next time you go to the
beach or even make a smaller whale tail
and have it coming out with a cup of
coffee it's a really fun one to play
around with for more crafty creations
