There’s a saying that luck plays a role in life, and this belief often influences how Vietnamese people choose their trucks. For instance, many drivers in Ha Dong avoid trucks with license plates matching their age, believing it brings bad luck.

But did you know that besides choosing a truck, we can also create unique cars with our own hands? You heard that right! Today, XETAIHANOI will guide you on how to make a simple cardboard car that anyone can do, even beginners.

Why Make a Cardboard Car?

Making a cardboard car isn’t just a fun activity; it also offers surprising benefits:

Sparks Creativity: You can freely design the style, color, and size of your car, turning unique ideas into reality.
Develops Skills: The process hones dexterity, meticulousness, patience, and problem-solving abilities.
Saves Money: Instead of buying expensive toy cars, you can create them from simple, readily available materials.
Strengthens Bonds: It’s an ideal activity to enjoy with children, friends, and family, creating lasting memories.

How to Make a Cardboard Car

Materials Needed

To make a cardboard car, you’ll need the following:

Cardboard (You can use old carton boxes, candy boxes, etc.)
Pencil, ruler, compass
Scissors, utility knife
Glue, tape
Watercolors, crayons, colored paper (for decoration)
Bottle caps, bamboo skewers (optional, for wheels)

Steps

Step 1: Design and Cut the Cardboard:

Sketch the car’s shape on paper.
Use a ruler and compass to draw the car parts (body, front, rear, wheels…) on the cardboard.
Cut out the parts along the lines with scissors or a utility knife.

Step 2: Assemble the Parts:

Use glue or tape to connect the car parts.
Ensure secure adhesion to prevent the car from falling apart during play.

Step 3: Decorate the Car:

Use watercolors, crayons, or colored paper to decorate the car.
You can draw windows, headlights, license plates… or add fun stickers.

Tips

To make the wheels roll, use bottle caps or bamboo skewers as axles.
For a sturdier car, reinforce it by gluing an extra layer of cardboard inside.
Let the glue dry completely before playing with the car.
