How to make a realistic cardboard radio

Example of the end result

Materials:

-  Pieces of cardboard box in the common size of three A4 sheets

- Paint

- Contact paper 

- 10 tooth picks

- 2 caps of soda bottles

- Hot glue

Step 1) Cut and assembling the parts.

  Print the pictures of the cut, paste on cardboard, and cut out the parts. Then, make three segments, a quad a cut to more frontal part without the holes of the speaker and the buttons and a rectangle to be bent and glued around the skeleton of the radio. After, place the "speaker" in front of a circle with tooth picks.

Step 2) Pasting the contact paper

  Cut contact with drawings on it (I will just replace the contact with paint.) Use bottle caps as buttons and dials, and secure them with hot glue.

Step 3 is about the electronic circuiting, which I will not be doing this.
