From 2d to 3d - How to Make 3D Dog With Hama Beads

This is a simple instructable that will show you how to make a 3d dog with hama beads.

It is a part of a series of instructables that aim to help explain how you can use beads to prepare kids for learning how to work with 3d-printing.

Supplies:

Hama Beads

Glue

Baking paper

Tools:

Iron

Large hama beads plate

First step is to make the 2D figures on the bead plate. You can see the designs above.

Then heat up your iron and put a piece of baking paper on top of your figure. Then carefully heat it up, so the beads melt together. Don't use to much heat and no steam iron!

When all the beads have melted together you can take the beads of the plate and turn them around. Put baking paper on the new side and also heat that one up.

Then you glue them together.

The two eyeless figures should be in the middle. Then the two figures with eyes and then you glue all the small parts like legs, feet and ears on. Legs need to be glue on before feets.

Wait for the glue to dry and you have a dog. These kinds of models are fairly simple and easy to design and build.
