Miniature violin


"Music is what feelings sound like.."


Draw a basic violin shape

Cut two pieces out of cardboard based on the above pic. Cut two F-hole shapes on one of the pieces.


Glue them together to form the basic shape. Attach a cardboard strip to get the 3D structure.


Cut a few pieces of paper (newspaper or paper napkins can be used).


Glue them to the body of the violin using glue and water mixture. This will make the structure sturdy.


It will look like this once complete. Let it dry completely.


Cut out other shapes( neck, tailpiece,turning pegs, scrolls) and repeat the same steps to cover them all with paper strips.



Attach the pegs to the scrolls . Make 4 holes using a needle on the tailpiece. This is to thread the strings.


Apply acrylic colours 


Attach threads through the holes in the tailpieces and glue them down below the pegs.


Apply a coat of varnish or clear nail polish to get the glossy finish. 



And we have a miniature violin :)
