Introduction: HOW TO BUILD YOUR STYRACOSAURUS (DIY)
Hi Guys,
In these Instructables, I'll guide you to do your styracosaurus as a toy for kids.
Styracosaurus is a spike at the butt-end of a spear-shaft and lizard is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaurs from the cretaceous period about 75 to 75.5 my.
It had four to six long parietal spikes extending from its neck frill, a smaller jugal horn on each of its cheeks, and a single horn protruding from its nose.
Let's start to do DIY styracosaurus with kids or also with beginners to DIY.

Step 1: DRAW YOUR OWN STYRACOSAURUS
If you are familiar with drawing, draw your 2D styracosaurus in A3 Sheet in landscape mode.
If you are not familiar with drawing, then print it.
If you are not familiar with drawing, then print it.
Step 2: SEPARATE PARTS
Separate the parts of the neck frill, horn from the body of the drawn A3 sheet.
Step 3: TO EASY DIY PURPOSE
For the easy DIY purpose, I spilt out the full body into 3 portions that head and neck, body with legs and tail.
Because head & neck, and tail are in the same thickness and body with legs are in different thickness.
So, I split it into 3 portions.

So, I split it into 3 portions.
Step 4: THERMOCOL WORK
Same as cardboard, do with thermocl.
Here need not trace or cut neck frill and spikes.
Make due, that are in 2 sets of Left and right side.
Here need not trace or cut neck frill and spikes.
Make due, that are in 2 sets of Left and right side.
Step 5: CARDBOARD WORK
Trace all the parts from the A3 sheet in cardboard and cut it along.
Make sure, they are in 2 sets of left and right side.
Here need not trace or cut, neck frill and spike.
Make sure, they are in 2 sets of left and right side.
Here need not trace or cut, neck frill and spike.
Step 6: STAKE FILLERS
Fillers are used to staking in-between the left and right side of the body to increase its thickness.
Step 7: COMBINE TOGETHER (CARDBOARD & THERMOCOL)
Stick cardboard parts (LEFT & RIGHT) with thermocol parts with help of glue.
In that cardboard, parts are in outside.
In that cardboard, parts are in outside.
Step 8: BODY ASSEMBLE
Join head & neck, body with leg and tail (3 portions) longitudinally by help of hot glue gun and form styracosaurus.
Step 9: NECK FRILL
By using cardboard, draw and cut neck frill and parietal spikes.
Join parietal spikes and neck frill by the toothpick Sticks and form the shape of the neck frill.
Join parietal spikes and neck frill by the toothpick Sticks and form the shape of the neck frill.
Step 10: SPIKES or HORN
Use a Small wooden piece, sharpened one end like a horn.
Step 11: OLD NEWS PAPERS
Use old newspapers, and cut them into 3*5cm pieces to cover up styracosaurus.
Step 12: WHITE GLUE PREPARATION
To prepare white glue, use Maida flour mixed with water and boil, becomes like a gel, we can use it white glue.
Let's do prepare it.
PROCEDURE:1
Take 100mg of Maida flour in a bowl.
PROCEDURE:2
add some water and mix both well.
PROCEDURE:3
Boil this mixture in a medium flame and continuously stir, becomes a gel state and switch off the flame.
PROCEDURE:4
cool this to 30 mins and ready to use it as white glue.

Step 13: ROUGH PACKING or FIRST PACKING
Apply white gel on styracosaurus over with newspaper pieces and pack full body and neck frill also
Step 14: LET IT TO DRY
Leave this setup to 6hrs in sunny light.
Step 15: ASSEMBLE NECK FRILL & HORN
Assemble neck frill in the neck with back support by the help of glue and also horns in the nose area.
Step 16: SECONDARY PACKING or FINISH PACKING
Do the same, once again as first packing and cover all over styracosaurus, this cover makes styracosaurus super strong.
Step 17: LET IT TO DRY
Then leave this setup to 6hrs in sunny light.
Step 18: SAND PAPER WORK
Use 150 grit (fine) sandpaper to remove excess White glue on the styracosaurus and also make smooth surfaces.
Step 19: COLOURING
Use water colour or wall paints to colour styracosaurus.
Step 20: ADD DETAILS
Add eyes, mouth and whatever you want with a freehand draw.
Step 21: CONCLUSION
This Instructable includes kids favourite activity of drawing, glueing and colouring. So you can try this with your kids or children and also beginners to DIY try.
