I've been thinking about making a robot necklace for ages and I'm sitting at home doing nothing so...Robot necklace! I called him Roberto Robot lol. He's probably a little flimsy but I'm sure he'll be fine for a while, and if he breaks I'll probably make one out of plastic or something :) I put 40mins for the time cuz I was fiddling with the wire for ages... Sorry I didn't take many photo's as I was doing it but it's pretty easy :) and the ones I have are sideways...I'm just lazy lol Enjoy your robot! O_O PS I'm having trouble uploading the main photo's that go up the top :| just warning you guys...

Instructions

  1. Small img 0384 1310639334

    Cut out your cardboard pieces...I had heaps of cardboard so I just kept cutting them down until I got them all the size/proportions that I wanted. I did: Head Body Arms Hands Feet

  2. Get your needle and poke holes in all the places you want to join your body parts together (head-body, arms-hands etc). Don't put them too close to the edge or it's more likely to rip :(

  3. Small img 0382 1310638546

    Get your wire and start wrapping it around something round, like a pen...I used a chopstick and a pen cuz I had two different sizes of loop to join the bits together...

  4. Small img 0383 1310638644

    Get your wire cutters and cut in a straight line up the spiral (if that makes sense) so you're left with a whole bunch of loops like this <---- I used 9 loops: 5 small and 4 big :)

    Start colouring your body parts in and drawing eyes etc, I drew a little heart on his chest cuz I think he's cuter with it ^_^

    When you're finished colouring, attach all the bits together with your wire loops (this took the most time for me. Add a big wire loop to the top of your robot's head to attach it to the necklace and you're done! Now you have a super cute robot to keep you company :)
