"Let's do some creativity- WEEK 17 (Map Of Africa From Waste Carton)".

Hello, greetings friends, how are you today? I believe you are all fine as I am. I am glad to participate in this week's contest and appreciate @jyoti-thelight for organising this contest. This week, I creatively constructed A map of Africa on a frame using waste cartons and I am sure you will all like it. Here are the details of my construction.

Materials For Construction

• Waste carton
• Strong board
• Masking tape
• Adhesive
• Acrylic colour
• Brushes
• Pencil
• Eraser
• Ruler
• Cutter
• Scissors

Step 1
I began by constructing the frame of the map. I measure a rectangle of 34cm by 29cm on the carton and then cut it out using a paper cutter. I also cut a 1.5 cm carton and gummed it at the back of the carton using adhesive to increase its width.

Step 2
I picked a carton, peeled one side of it and cut it into pieces measuring 1.5cm by 1.5cm using scissors.

Step 3
I drew a line on the background frame, which is 1.5cm away from the edges, and I gummed the 1.5cm by 1.5cm peeled carton around the edge of the carton using adhesive. I gummed it stylishly to give it beauty.

Step 4
I drew the map of Africa on a strong board. I began
the drawing from the top of the map down to the bottom. I also drew Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq and a few other countries.

Step 5
After the drawing, I cut out the map using a paper cutter.

Step 6
Here, I rub adhesive on the back of the map. After a short while, I gummed the map at the centre of the background frame

Step 7
Here, I drew the map of Madagascar, cut it out and gummed it on the background.

Step 8
At this point, I started colouring my construction. I first divided the map into five different parts, which are Central Africa, Southern Africa, West Africa, East Africa and North Africa and coloured them using five different colours including Madagascar.

Step 9
I coloured the background of the map using black Acrylic colour.

Step 10
I coloured the 1.5cm by 1.5cm cartons gummed at the edge of the background using different colours. I also coloured the edges of tje map using a white acrylic colour and lastly, I coloured the width of the frame using a black acrylic colour which is the last step of my construction.
