thomas the tank engine

thomas the tank engine is a favourite all around the world

we love him here too

here is a tutorial on how to make him

...although my measurements might be a bit dodgey lol

 i used the following punches

owl punch for lights, eyes, 

cupcake punch for eye balls, candle part for chimney

1 1/4" circle for face

1" for mouth

xl oval for roof

strips of blue in 7x3, 7x4, 6x2, 6x4 all cm

strips of grey 7x2 with edges trimmed to 6cm

strip of red 7x11/2cm

strip of black 7x1cm

word window

 make these bits first 

then add blue bits together and wriggle them around to get the right proportion-some overlap quite a bit to get some layering going

 then add the other bits-some with dimensionals to give some layering 

then draw in the facial features with marker-mine looks a bit crazy-obviously has been hauling too much freight today lmao

this is what i used mine for-a name plaque for a special little boy :>

cheers ears
