Crafts: Walls

So this week i am going to show you how to build basic walls. These walls are great when you need to show that there is something physically in the way, and can also be used as bushes.

Here is what where going to need to get started

Sharpie, Hot-glue gun, scissors, cardboard, tiles, cleaning scrub pads (pack of 12 for 1$)

Now first we are going to make a 4 square long walls, i make all my wall height 1.5 squares, because it gets the idea across and makes it pretty universal.



as you can see here, i traced a 2 square by 4 square area on the scrub pad, using the tile as a guide line. To ensure that i have the area i need i am going to make sure is 3 squares by 4 squares



Now we cut out what we don't need



We can save the excess (make 1 square bushes by rolling them up)
but our next step is to fold it in half, and have some guide lines.


you don't need to draw these lines in, they are just here to show

now that this is folded, we simply place hot glue along the lines one at a time, holding it closed and waiting a minute after each line to dry before proceeding to the next



make sure you add pressure to each glue so that the piece feels like one

Now while the entire piece is drying lets make the base, using the tile set and the cardboard, trace out a 2 square by 4 square area (if you have 1x4 blocks use them instead) and cut out that pathway



now place a bead of glue along the base of the wall, the base is the end that was folded onto itself. and place the wall in the center of the base you just cut out


and let it dry.

There you have it, a simple wall, you can sit back and make a bunch of these easy in an hour if you break everything down in steps.
