Hello friend @steemkidss ,it's a pleasure to be here, but firstly I'll be thanking @mesola for organizing such amazing contest for fellow steemians to show case their wonderful talent and skills. I really love crafting, drawing and painting that's why I decided to participate on this contest but i guess it's my first time.

Today I made a blueprint of Red cross branch office Delta State honoring the branch as my first branch office for me to serve as a red cross volunteer. The impression came after I came across this contest and I decided to make something creative .

My blueprint of Delta State Red cross branch office .

Below I'll sharing some few steps and tools I used in making my blueprint .

TOOLS/MATERIALS

The tools is just common materials that's easy to get. They're

• Carton or straw board
• Top bond Gum
• Cardboard or art paper
• Pencil
• Eraser
• Ruler
• Razor blades
• Scissors
• Transparent flexible plastic for windows and doors

USES

• Carton or straw board: The straw board is a hard paper board that's is used to make any art works in particular. The straw board is used to form walls of the blueprint, then carton came be of replacement if the straw board isn't available,and most cases carton are always used to make the roofing of the blueprint

• Top bond : the top bond here is a gum that's used to gum something but any types of gum can used , I used the top bond to gum the carton to form walls and also used it to gum the roofing of the blueprint

• Cardboard or art paper: cardboard is used to add more beauty to the walls. In this case the cardboard and the straw board will be merged together using gum so that the walls can be attractive. Then most cases that the cardboard isn't available you can use a plane white art paper but you'll have to use marker to paint the art paper to make it colorful.

• Pencil: pencil is always necessary to sketch out your walls and other parts and also to take note of measurements as well.

• Eraser: Eraser is used to clear errors while using the pencil to sketch

• Ruler: Ruler is one of the essential tools,it's used to make measurements of the walls and making your work looks accurate and neat.

• Maker: The marker is used for colouration if you're using the art paper to merge with the carton or straw board to form walls

• Razor blades: it's used to carve out the windows and door and to smaller cuts

• Scissors: scissors is used to make bigger cuts, bigger cuts are cutting the straw board and cartons to form walls.

STEPS

Since I was making the blue print of Nigerian Red cross Delta State branch, I had to sketch out the building on a4 paper

After I was done sketching the plan of the building,I had to start measuring carton and art paper to form the walls of the blueprint which is the next steps that follows after you've the plan of what you're to build.

the next steps that follows is carving out windows and doors on the carton and art board before merging them together

At this point I'm gumming the walls to the plain board. I gummed the walls to a plain board to enable the blueprint to be firm and all which will make all gumming to stick together. And this is how you'll continue gumming other walls to the plain board

At this point I was done with all the walls so it was time to make the roof. Note whenever you're dealing with any paper crafts that have to do with gumming you've to give it some time to stick firmly together.

This point have to do with the roof , I know y'all will be wondering how i made the roof with carton , but trust me it's very simple. Making the roof you'll need a carton, and you'll pill out the first layer of the carton so that it can have the shape of a zinc and after that you'll measure out the pilled carton to the shape of the building you've made.

After that you'll color it with a marker and then you'll mount a triangle shaped carton on a plain carton so that you can be placing the pilled carton on it to be firm

After I was done making the roof ,I had to keep it for 2 to 3 hrs for it dry very and I guess was done making the roof and it was time to gum the roof and body together . Below is the pictures showing how I gum the roof and the body together

Finally I was done with everything and I had to keep it to dry very well so that it won't pull out. It was really a stressful time for me making the blueprint though but I thank God I came out making it successfully

I'll love to invite some of my steemit friends to participate on this amazing contest @paul13,@bessie2023,@jozzie90,@dazzle55
