How to make a crazy toilet paper roll bulldozer from easy to find supplies!

When building projects, try new and different ways to combine them. The most important thing is to have fun!

Find these or similar items!

* 2 toilet paper tubes

* cereal box or some cardboard

* 1 or 2 straws

* Tape

1. Make your bulldozer blade!

I started making my bulldozer blade. Just cut one of your TP tubes into two halves. I finally reduced it a bit, about 1/3. Looks like a bulldozer blade for me! You can even cut a little angle to make it cooler.

2. Get your bulldozer weapon!

Next, you can make an arm that grabs the bulldozer blade. Place the blade on a piece of cardboard and outline its circular outline. Then draw your arm design. Make it about 3 to 4 inches long. Cut it off and trace it to another piece of cardboard. Then cut off that one. Then your arms will be the same. Next, make a hole in each arm so that they can slide freely onto your axis.

3. Add a shaft hole!

Now make 4 holes on the other TP tube. You will want them to be level with each other and as evenly distributed as possible. I spent some time marking my position with a ruler. Then I punched a hole carefully with a puncher. These holes need to be slightly larger than the straws.

4. Add your axle!

For my axle, I cut two straws so that they protrude about an inch on each side. I inserted them and made some adjustments to my hole. Basically, I made the hole bigger so that my straw can rotate freely.

5. Make your wheel!

Take four boxes with an old box or a piece of cardboard [my wheels are about 3 inches in diameter]. Then carefully cut out all four wheels. Find the center of each wheel and make a small hole for your straw shaft. Try not to make the hole too big, otherwise the wheel may shake.

6. Start assembling your bulldozer!

Start assembling the bulldozer by installing the rear axle pipette and then slide the rear wheel onto it. You may want to use a small tape to fix the wheels, they are loose. Then place the front axle pipette and slide the two bulldozer arms onto it, one on each side.

7. Add your wheels!

Now install the front wheel. At this point, I turned it over and made some last minute adjustments. Before you stick it permanently, make sure your wheels are turning and the blade arms are loose. If not, please make the necessary adjustments.

8. Connect your blade!

All that's left is to install the front bulldozer blade on both arms. Find the location you like and paste it. VOILA - TP bulldozer! You can start scrolling it or dress it up. The sky is the limit!

9. Dress up your bulldozer!

Now, I like a part of every project... dress up! For my TP bulldozer, I used some orange masking tape. If you don't have or can't get some orange tape, try using conventional masking tape and color it with a permanent manufacturer. After I made the simple PT bulldozer, I removed all the pieces with orange tape and carefully covered all the pieces.

10. Reassemble your bulldozer!

After I was satisfied with the appearance of all the parts, I reassembled my TP bulldozer. It looks cool but it still needs something. My son suggested a cabin... I agree!

11. Build your cabin!

For my hut, I carefully cut out 4 pieces of cardboard to form four sides. I decided to take the remaining TP tube waste from the blade of my bulldozer and use it for the roof. I played it a little bit and made some necessary adjustments to it. I permanently attached it and covered it with my orange tape.

12. Build your window!

Making windows for my cabin, I carefully cut them off from some blue masking tape. If you prefer, you can draw them in place using colored markers. For my door, I cut out a piece of waste cardboard and covered it with tape. I added some windows and drew a small handle and connected it to the cabin. It looks really cool!

13. Add extra content!

I stuck the hut and walked a few steps forward so the bulldozer operator could climb the hut. I also added a little blue tape to the end of my shaft pipette for the finishing touch and Voila! Your TP bulldozer is ready to start bulldozers around the house!
