Wall-E Made From Materials Found Around the House!

This adorable Wall-E was made by me using materials found around my home!

I decided to make it one lazy morning using things that were going into the trash like old boxes, parts of plastic bottles, old film and scraps of cardboard.

This is a list of the materials I used:

• Thin metal sheet (it was easily cuttable with scissors)
• Scrap cardboard boxes
• Hot glue and glue gun
• The back plate of an old motherboard
• plastic bottles and bottle caps
• old film reel
• packaging foam

Head

• Neck of 2 plastic bottles is cut, and glued to the bottle caps, this makes the eyes;
• eyes are glued on the head, made of cardboard. A thin strip of cardboard adds some more detail to the head.
• Neck is the plastic case of pencil leads, cut into 2 pieces

Body

• body is a square box, with colour matching the Wall-E colours;
• the front plate of a PC motherboard adds some detail to the front

Arms

• hand is very thin metal sheet, cuttable with scissors; this is glued to a cardboard tube.
• The cardboard tube is inserted into a slightly bigger cardboard tube, so hand can move, and rotate;
• the upper part of the arm is made from another cardboard box, with colour matching the Wall-E colours
• Arm are the hot-glued to the body

Tank-Treads

• Recovered old film reel was the perfect material for recreating the look of tank treads; they are supported by cardboard and slices of packing foam cylinder.

All parts are assembled with hot glue gun.

Have fun!
