# Mister Maker! #

Oh, hello there! Great to see you again.

I'm putting the finishing touches

to my aeroplane model.

Mmm, there we go. There!

All finished.

It's taken me ages to glue this together.

And because I was using lots of gloopy glue,

I made sure I put plenty of old paper down,

just in case I got in a mess.

Oh, no!

How did that get there?

And how did that get there?

Oh.

And how did that get on there?

And...eh? What's that?

Oh.

How did that get there?

Well, I suppose by using old paper,

it doesn't really matter if it gets ripped up and torn into pieces.

Plus, it gives me a great idea.

Let's try something!

Try using torn-up bits of paper to make this super city picture.

Let's make it!

We'll need some things from the Doodle Drawers! Come on!

Some coloured paper and a ruler.

A glue stick.

A black pen and a pencil.

Some newspaper.

Whoa!

Now, to make a torn-paper city picture,

like this one here,

find yourself a large piece of coloured paper.

And starting at the bottom of the paper,

draw a large rectangle with a pencil.

Next, draw a tall, pointy, triangle shape.

About as tall as the rectangle.

And how about...

two more rectangles?

You don't have to be neat,

and you can draw whatever shapes you like.

You could add a curved roof, like this.

Now for the tricky bit. We need to rip

along all of these lines.

But you can use a ruler to help you, like this.

Place the ruler down, alongside one of your pencil lines,

hold the ruler down firmly,

and then tear the paper against it.

Put the pieces to one side - we'll need those later.

Then get yourself another piece of coloured paper.

This darker shade will look good.

Then, let's grab a pencil, and start drawing some more shapes.

You can use a white pencil here, if you like.

Cos it really shows up the pencil lines.

Let your pencil go where it wants!

And when you're happy with your buildings,

tear them out as well.

Put these pieces to one side as well,

and grab your last piece of paper.

Again, this works really well if it's an even darker shade.

Let's start drawing some more building shapes,

but this time, they're going to be

joined at the bottom of the page.

It's a great idea if the drawings are quite small.

When you're happy with your buildings, tear these out.

Now...

get another piece of paper,

and very carefully, place your biggest buildings at the back.

Middle-sized buildings in the middle.

And the smallest buildings on top!

There! Very nice.

Now we can get gluing.

It's looking great already.

But let's add something extra with some torn-up pieces of newspaper.

Just tear out little rectangles, or squares, for windows and doors!

Tear as many pieces as you want,

and arrange them on to your building.

Now all that's left to do,

is add some detail with a black pen.

Just carry on until you're happy with your picture.

This one's going to have lots of windows.

It's a fabulous torn-paper city!

There are other ideas you could try too.

A countryside scene.

It's got rolling hills and torn-paper flowers.

Or even a beach.

With torn-paper sailing boats and gentle torn waves.

You see, something great came out of me ripping up that paper.

I knew it would. Now, where did I put that model plane?

ENGINE DRONES

Oh, no!

Oh.

That was just PLANE silly, wasn't it, eh?

Who's that snoring?

-Oh, it's the Shapes.

-SNORING

They're asleep again.

Let's wake them up!

SNORING

Ooh.

HE GIGGLES

THEY JIBBER

ALL SHOUT

# I am a shape

# La, la, la, la

# La, la, la, la, a shape!

# La, la, la, la

# I am a circle

# I am a triangle

# I am a square

# I am a rectangle

# I am a shape!

# I am a rectangle. #

What's hiding in the rectangles?

Can you guess?

FAIRGROUND MUSIC

It's a merry-go-round!

Well done, Rectangle!

It's time to get back on the shelf.

ALL: Whoa!

THEY LAUGH

THEY JIBBER

SNORING

I'm glad we woke the Shapes.

-They're funny! I loved it...

-CRASHING

Tocky here!

Minute make time!

Hey, hey, it's minute make time!

Now, have you ever been stuck for something to wear

at a fancy-dress party?

Well, here's a great problem-solver.

Oooh!

It's a fancy-dress headdress that's fun to make!

Now, to make one of these, you will need...

lots and lots of coloured feathers.

A plastic jewel. Ooh, look at it.

Some stickers.

A glue stick.

Sticky tape.

And a strip of card.

This strip of card

needs to be able to fit all the way around your head.

That's quite tricky to do -

you might want to ask an adult to help.

Now, do you think it's possible to make this in just one minute?

You must be joking!

Well, thanks a lot, Tocky(!)

I think I can do it. I'll have to be very quick.

Don't worry, I'll remind you how to do it at the end.

Are you ready? Let's make it in a minute!

Start the clock!

Let's get the strip,

and start laying out feathers.

You can use any colour feathers,

in whatever order. There.

I've got those ones down.

I'll get the green ones.

They look nice...

that way. Just line them up.

Now I think two yellow ones would look nice,

either side there...

Then how about these ones? Yes!

They can go on the end there.

A piece of sticky tape

to put them in place...

-Faster!

-I'm going as quick as I can!

Here we go. Gonna stick all the feathers down like that.

There we go. Now, if I turn that over,

I can stick on my jewel, into the middle.

Bit of glue there. There we go...

Now let's put some stickers on. There's a sticker...

and there... Oh, I'm running out of time!

There we go.

Now, if I just get a bit of sticky tape,

I can fix it in place!

I've done it! Look at that! It's a fancy-dress headdress!

Only just!

If you've got more than a minute, there are other ideas you could try.

Ooh, very nice! This one's got pipe cleaners and paper details.

Oh! And this one's got twigs and leaves!

Fancy-dress headdresses, made in a minute!

Why don't you give it a go? Here's a reminder of how to do it...

Let's go back to the beginning and take a look.

Get an adult to measure a strip of card that fits your head.

Arrange feathers along it

and tape them into place.

Turn it over and stick on some jewels and stickers.

Finally, tape the ends together and your fancy-dress headdress

is complete. Why don't you try and make it in a minute?

ALL: Hello, Mister Maker,

guess what we're making today?

Oh! I don't know. Let's find out.

I am purple.

I am green.

I'm yellow.

I am orange.

I am red.

ALL: It's a dragon!

Well done, everyone.

See you next time. It's time to -

-frame it!

-CLICK!

-Frame it.

-CLICK!

-Frame it.

-CLICK!

Now, take a look at this.

This is a great pattern picture

and it's made using wax crayons and ink.

It's very easy to do, but makes a picture so good,

you'll be able to frame it.

You'll need white paper,

paint brushes, crayons, different coloured inks

and water.

To make a pattern picture - draw lots of shapes and dots

onto the paper with a white crayon.

This is tricky cos you can't see what you're doing.

But all will be revealed.

Now do the same with other colours.

It's time for some magic.

Mix the ink with water

and paint rectangles and squares all over the top of the wax shapes.

You can do as many shapes as you like.

And when it's dry,

look how the wax crayons magically resist the paint.

You can see the wax drawings underneath the painted shapes.

It's a brilliant pattern picture.

What a great way of making a really clever picture.

Now, all that's left to do is...

frame it!

I like making pictures out of all sorts of things.

So, let's make a picture out of...

lolly sticks!

Wow!

Wow!

Wow! It's a grasshopper!

I'm just looking through my seaside box.

It's full of all the things I take with me when I go on holiday.

Let's have a look.

Yes...

Here's my bucket and spade - very nice.

What else have we got? Oh, brilliant!

Look, my mask and snorkel.

And, of course, not forgetting...

my beach ball. Brilliant!

Ooh. Look.

There's also lots of shells in here too.

Now, I found this one when I went diving under the sea.

BUBBLING

-MUFFLED:

-I love swimming under the sea!

What? Oh! Sorry. Sorry.

I said, "I love swimming under the sea!" Yeah!

-It's given me a great idea.

-DING!

Let's make something.

A super-shimmering shell grotto

that looks like it's on the bottom of the sea.

Let's make it! We'll need some things from the Doodle Drawers.

Some shells...

..some paint...

..a paper plate... Ooh.

..some gloopy PVA glue...

..and some and some glitter and a black pen.

Woo! Plus we'll also need some air drying clay

you can get from an arts and crafts shop. I'll be back in a tick.

Right, I'll put our air drying clay there for now.

Now, to make your very own shell grotto like this one here,

you need to push some air drying clay...

onto a paper plate like this..

Now we're ready to bring in our shells

and there are all sorts of types.

It's a good idea to use a good mixture of shapes and sizes.

Let's start placing them into the clay.

Let's start with the biggest shell

and we can push it into the clay,

at the back, like this.

You can arrange the other shells how you like

and leave the clay to dry.

When the clay's dry, like this...

you can paint your shell grotto a nice underwater colour,

like a purple, a green or maybe even a blue.

To do that, we need to make a painty mixture

that's half paint and half gloopy glue.

There we go. Let's give it a mix.

Now, we can paint this painty mixture over our shell grotto.

How about adding a few highlights with a shiny colour?

Now, silver paint will work really well for this.

Let's bring in some silver painty mixture

and paint some on.

There. While the paint's still wet,

let's sprinkle some colourful glitter

all over our shell grotto.

The glitter will stick cos the paint is still wet.

It'll make the grotto really sparkle.

It's a good idea to do this on some old paper,

some newspaper or...

a tray,

as this can get a bit messy.

Then shake off all the extra glitter for this amazing effect.

There.

For the windows

we can use a black pen to draw squares on our shells

and we can paint them yellow in the middle.

You can do as many windows as you want.

Draw little black squares...

..and then paint them yellow.

What a brilliant effect!

A fantastic shimmering shell grotto.

And you can try any design you like.

This one's covered in green paint and green glitter.

Or how about using a bigger shell

and adding some more shell buildings like this.

Let's go!

SPLASH!

Oh! It's time to go!

Time to go! Time to go!

Wooh! That's it for now.

My making time's over, but yours is just beginning.

See you soon.

It's time to put all this stuff back in its box.
