### Greetings to all my friends!!! I am @sandimal from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. I hope you all are well. Today I am going to participate on this contest by making a handmade Turtle. I would like to thank @strecoza for bringing this contest for us. Today I am going to show you how to make a beautiful turtle using discarded materials. For this I used the following things. #### -Required materials- ![IMG_20240312_104012.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRfRswvtC3ygNbzZuZ19c2D6MVNpxN26vNXh14kfCsfY3/IMG_20240312_104012.jpg)| |-| • **One lid of kinderjoy cover** • **Glue** • **Pencil** • **Permanent marker** • **A scissor** • **Piece of waste paper** • **Piece of waste cardboard** #### -Steps- ####

Step 01

First I cut the legs of turtle by using the piece of white color cardboard. At here I used the first leg shape to cut the other three legs to take the same shape. ![IMG_20240312_103947.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfVqPt3vPwBuqBUCKEX6TMG4x5rz7DcZywuMxGgpqzPV3/IMG_20240312_103947.jpg)| |-| ####

Step 02

Then I pasted small pieces of waste papers on the kinderjoy lid by using glue. This kinderjoy lid was used as the shell of the turtle. ![20240311_222748_075011.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTXgo5LFnBN1UdYf3VgN2GrbyT13wnARV7kAniTWgqzXd/20240311_222748_075011.jpg)| |-| ####

Step 03

After then colored the shell and legs by using the black color permanent marker. ![20240311_223819_075000.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZrQi9KqpF2Y139FyRfENo7LtPtXiXsx26AaaptggNt8x/20240311_223819_075000.jpg)| |-| ####

Step 04

In this step I fixed the legs of the turtle to the shell by using glue. ![20240311_224426_074950.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmezhuSPw3JPmn97nbUKwQXJfsPh2q5edJxW8jCsrK1BJ3/20240311_224426_074950.jpg)| |-| ####

Step 05

As the last step I fixed the head of the turtle by using glue. I used a small ball of waste paper to made the head of the turtle. Then drawn two tiny eyes by using the permanent marker. ![20240311_224833_074929.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUkbtH5H4faqKaE7XJgrLEVPFwfWcMNnznzxNeeCApouu/20240311_224833_074929.jpg)| |-| So my dear friends this is my finished handmade turtle.
