Will's Whimsical Projects you can make

Many times people have left comments on my youtube channel saying that many of projects are very whimsical.

That's a beautiful word! (whimsy) So, I thought I would put together for you a collection of my projects that fit into this wonderful genre.

And of course, you can make them.

Sometimes a cardboard box is more than a box

I took a box and created a project inside it. The creative potential is unlimited. Maybe you can make a project inside a box. Check out mine in this video: Sometimes a cardboard box is more than a box

 

The Lost Van Gogh Scene Box

I show you how to make this scene box from a lost Vincent Van Gogh Painting. And I give you the template. Print it up and put it together. The Lost Van Gogh Scene Box

 

We are living in difficult times. There are many challenges facing humanity. DaVinci knew the solution to these problems over 500 years ago. I show you his solution in this poignant little cardboard storyboard machine. Watch the video and learn the solution right here:
The DaVinci Solution

And you can make a wonderful little cardboard storytelling machine like this too.

The moment of courage diorama

This is the second part of the paper mache diorama project. We finish the diorama by adding terrain textures, colors and a light. Our adventurer is in that moment where he has to decide to brave the dark cave or not! The Moment of Courage diorama

 

Make a shadow theatre out of a cardboard box

This is a fun project that is easy to make. And, once you make it the creativity continues. You can put on shows and tell stories with this cardboard box shadow theatre.

 

a ZoetropeMake a Zoetrope

A zoetrope is a fun little optical illusion project. You might even call it an animation project. You put a series of images inside a tube and spin the tube. Look through slots you made and the images become an animation. Fun and easy. And I give you the template with the animation ready to go. Make a Zoetrope

 

Rapunzel Paper Diorama

a Wizard's Orrery Make a Wizard's Orrery

An orrery is a mechanical device that shows the movement of celestial objects. We make one that shows the motions of the Sun the Earth and the Moon. And we do it with foam board. Make a Wizard's Orrery
