How to make a T-Rex out of CARDBOARD!

[@frighty]

Just finished watching the video and immediately bought the templates. I've been doing art projects my whole life but never something on this scale. As an adult who never grew out of loving dinosaurs with a 6 year old who has shown possibly even more interest than me in my childhood, I'm going to love every second of this build and even moreso when I can show him what daddy has made for him. You have no idea how thankful I am for this video. Much love.

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Oh that's so sweet! So glad to hear that ❤ that type of comment is the real reward for what I'm doing here so than YOU. And don't hesitate to ask me you have any questions while you work on it, I'm always there to help!

I’m doing the same bought the instructions have collected boxes will get the glue gun stuff done and may figure where my 4 year old can help, thinking the paper overlay and maybe dotting the wood glue etc, he’s going to love it. What an incredible project man, thanks for your hard work this is going to be something for me and my son to always remember!

I really want to make this for my little brother! He loves dinosaur's, and that dinosaur movie. Looks like I'll be collecting boxes and supplies until I'm ready to get started. I want to add a lil something, I'll paint it and add red LED lights in the eyes so it looks cool and spooky

[@donmiller2908]

@@EpicCardboardProps - You said that the completed model was very heavy. The neck also isn't attached very firmly to the head.If you tried to hang the model I do not think the neck would support the head, So how do you hang it on a wall?

[@EpicCardboardProps]

@@donmiller2908 Don't underestimate that connection Don, it is very sturdy and attached firmly. But indeed the problem is more at the base of the neck ... you can't just glue the base on a plate for instance, because with the weight of the head it won't stick for long. What I would do I think is make a kind of pedestal made out of wood with 1 or 2 very long sturdy rods built on it. Then I would make 1 or 2 holes according to the rods I made, on the back of the neck all the way through the neck until inside the mouth. That way these rods will sustain the head efficiently without being visible... but the pedestal and especially the connections between the rods and the pedestal would have to be very sturdy though. That is pretty much the most efficient and "easy" way to do it for me. :)

I just stumbled across this, and I have recently moved and so I have a whole bunch of boxes lying around and I love doing things like this, so this is just up my alley. I do have a question though, how do you come up with your templates? Also, how did you measure where the nose holes go? Because I always see always seem to misjudge measuring things like those.

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Glad to hear it Heather, you'll find all templates to make this build in my shop the description box below the video 😉 The process to make the templates is tricky to explain, as it is 70% of the build actually it is impossible for me to summarise it in a few sentences. But basically for this one I found a few good picture of it in different angles and I worked from them doing math drawings and so on... About the nose holes I just positioned them as they are on the reference pictures (that you get with the templates) 🙂

[@heathercampbell6059]

@@EpicCardboardProps Thank you for the response. It is very kind of you. If you are up for making a video on how you make your templates, I would be very interested in it, but that sounds like it might be something that would be very involved… When I was in school I actually had to learn to make a chair that could support a person out of cardboard. It was definitely an interesting prospect. Of course, I almost sliced my thumb off and ended up in the emergency room... So fail there, but I have tried to make costume props out of cardboard and they've never seemed all that sturdy. Seeing your process is eye opening and very interesting. Do you ever use paint? If so, what kind of paint would you use?

[@EpicCardboardProps]

@@heathercampbell6059 You're welcome! About the painting, well cardboard is not a good material when it comes to that part unfortunately... so you have to be aware that painting it is gonna make all the imperfections much more visible, and it may end up to look a little bit like a craft made by a young child lol to a certain extent... (That's the reason why I don't paint them), that being said I'm quite demanding with my props, maybe too much lol. But if you want to paint it I recommend you to use a primer first and then apply several thin layers of paint in order not to soak the cardboard. Acrylic paint might be a good one to use for that 😉

Thank you! Well that's quite the opposite actually, for me it's always a long process, for this one it took about a month at a rate of a few hours per day, but I had to make it from scratch (without templates and without this tutorial of course) I had to figure out how to make every single piece, find out how to do every steps..., record the tutorial, make the templates for you and so one... so it's not a good evaluation of the time that you'd spent on it at all lol.

you make your own dream come true 💞

[@robertthienes7792]

Can you paint these? Perhaps with acrylic or air brush?

[@EpicCardboardProps]

You can but I personally don’t recommend it. If I don't paint them it's because cardboard is not a good material when it comes to that part unfortunately, like at all... Painting them would make all the imperfections much more visible, but to be honest I'm very demanding with my props, probably too much lol so it's your call :) But if you do I advise you to make a primer first and then several thin layer of a spray paint instead of a thick one. The result should be way better ;)

[@robertthienes7792]

I don't know, I like the brown paper look. I have used laminated cardboard to create some artistically designed furniture. Part of the charm is the color. I suppose if you wanted to create a layer, or a way to sculpt a skin, a really thin application of bondo could work. I used that for building up decorations.

I loved that the process was well explained, especially the fact that it is a great project, beautiful by the way, many are not so specific but here we were able to start from scratch by doing something great, with things super easy to find I loved it, now I don't know how I could live without this channel, they are great projects.

Oh thanks for the kind words Esperanza, it means a lot! Glad you are enjoying my videos! 🙂

I, once, made "a large bald eagle" (about 2 meters by 2 meters/wing span) out of newspaper, wires/oldcoat hangers, construction paper, and lots of masking tape. It took me about one week to construct. It came out great for our parade float !!! I was a young teacher way back then... many, many years ago. I had energy & talent that I don't have anymore. 🦅

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Sounds like it was a very fun project!! I would have love to see the end result of it.
