Introduction: Fom 2d to 3d - How to Make Semi-3D Hammerhead Shark or Rocket With Hama Beads

By
About: I am a former teacher at a danish bording school. I used to teach tech, making, creativity and innovation. Now I mostly design projects for students and makers and educational materials for teachers.

This is a simple instructable that will show you how to make a semi 3d shark and rocket 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

Supplies:

Hama Beads

Glue

Baking paper


Tools:

Iron

Large hama beads plate

Step 1: Make the 2D Figures

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.

Step 2: Glue Them Together

SLide them together two and two. So the two shark bead figures should be slided into each other and the same for the two rocket figures.Give them a bit of glue and that is it. Your models are finished.
