How to Make a Tram:

1. Draw the basic shape of the front of a tram on an A4 sheet of cardboard and cut that shape out.

2. Cover the shape with green Stripes Paper.

3. Use Kindergarten Squares, Metallic Embossed Paper and Metallic Foil Paper to collage the front of the tram with details such as the front grill, windows, lights, tram number and destination signs.

4. Use black Corrugated Card and Corrugated Construction Strips to add the trims, such as the bottom grill.

5. Add a black Chenille Stem to the top of the tram for the power boom.

6. Fold an A5 sheet of cardboard into four and fold the two sides back on to themselves, forming a “T” shape. Glue the “T” shape on to bottom of the back of the tram to create a freestanding collage.
