1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:01,860 Hi, this is Joelle Meijer. 2 00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:04,440 I will show you how to make an Olympic torch. 3 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,879 Are you ready for the Olympic torch relay? 4 00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:10,539 For this project you will mainly need a long tube, 5 00:00:10,539 --> 00:00:16,899 a small paper plate, a roll of toilet paper, waxed paper and paint. 6 00:00:16,899 --> 00:00:19,280 Start by cutting a slice of the toilet paper roll 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,320 and glue it in the centre of the small plate with white glue. 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,309 Let dry. 9 00:00:26,309 --> 00:00:31,809 Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half to get the appropriate size. 10 00:00:31,809 --> 00:00:34,990 Create a pattern by drawing the profile of a large flame 11 00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:39,390 or use the pattern provided in the free document. 12 00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:43,210 Cut out the pattern. 13 00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:51,030 Take a piece of wax paper that is at least twice the size of the pattern of the flame. 14 00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:54,750 Spread diluted white glue or mod podge on the waxed paper 15 00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:59,270 and then cover the surface with a sheet of yellow tissue paper. 16 00:00:59,270 --> 00:01:02,469 Let dry. 17 00:01:02,469 --> 00:01:04,769 When the yellow tissue paper is dry, 18 00:01:04,769 --> 00:01:10,569 trace the outline of the pattern of the big flame on one half of the tissue paper 19 00:01:10,569 --> 00:01:13,590 and then reverse the pattern and trace the outline 20 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:18,950 on the other half of the yellow tissue paper. 21 00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:21,950 Now draw a smaller flame inside the pattern 22 00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:26,670 and cut it out to get the pattern of a medium size flame. 23 00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:31,010 Take a piece of orange tissue paper that you fold in half. 24 00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:35,370 Trace the outline of the medium size flame pattern on the orange tissue paper 25 00:01:35,370 --> 00:01:40,700 and cut both layers of tissue paper. 26 00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:44,540 Spread diluted white glue or mod podge on the yellow tissue paper 27 00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:48,560 and place an orange flame on one of the yellow flames. 28 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,700 Then reverse the other orange flame and glue it on the other yellow flame. 29 00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:56,859 Let dry. 30 00:01:56,859 --> 00:01:59,599 Draw a smaller flame inside the medium sized pattern 31 00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:05,109 and cut it to form the pattern for a smaller flame. 32 00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:09,550 Take a piece of red tissue paper that you fold in half. 33 00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:12,490 Trace the outline of the small flame on the tissue paper 34 00:02:12,490 --> 00:02:17,740 and cut both layers of tissue paper. 35 00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:21,599 Spread diluted white glue or mod podge on the orange tissue paper 36 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:26,560 and place a small red flame on one of the orange flames. 37 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,340 Then reverse the other red flame and glue it on the other orange flame. 38 00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:37,159 When it's dry, brush the red tissue paper with diluted white glue or mod podge 39 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:42,629 to make it shiny as well and let dry. 40 00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:46,009 Take the plate with the ring of toilet paper roll that you glued earlier 41 00:02:46,009 --> 00:02:51,050 and paint both sides of the plate in a colour of your choice. 42 00:02:51,050 --> 00:02:55,229 I choose to paint this part of the torch in gold. 43 00:02:55,229 --> 00:02:57,710 Because the gold paint is very transparent, 44 00:02:57,710 --> 00:03:03,310 I begin by painting with a solid colour very close to the gold colour. 45 00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:08,830 When the ochre paint is dry, I put a layer of gold paint. 46 00:03:08,830 --> 00:03:12,750 Then paint the handle of the torch in a colour of your choice. 47 00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:15,150 I choose to paint the handle white. 48 00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:17,669 Let dry. 49 00:03:17,669 --> 00:03:21,409 When the plate and the handle are dry, flip the plate over 50 00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:25,210 and put white glue on the edge of the tube. 51 00:03:25,210 --> 00:03:28,930 Glue the long tube in the centre of the back of the plate. 52 00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:31,650 Let dry completely. 53 00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:38,310 Take the wax paper covered with tissue paper and cut both sides of the flame. 54 00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:45,539 Take one of the sides of the flame and place it with the waxed paper side up. 55 00:03:45,539 --> 00:03:49,020 Put a thin bead of white glue all along the edge of the flame 56 00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:53,530 with the exception of the bottom. 57 00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:57,689 Overlap both sides of the flame exactly. 58 00:03:57,689 --> 00:04:00,270 To obtain good adhesion of both sides, 59 00:04:00,270 --> 00:04:04,229 put clothespins along the edge of the flame for a few minutes. 60 00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:10,159 Then remove the clothespins and let dry completely. 61 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:13,719 To mount the flame on the torch, open the bottom of the flame 62 00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:19,199 and insert the ring of the toilet paper roll into the hole of the flame. 63 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:22,100 If you are going to use the Olympic torch during the day, 64 00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:26,920 glue the flame on the plate with white glue and let dry. 65 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,300 To use the torch in the evening, put a lead candle in the ring created with a roll of 66 00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:36,920 toilet paper and then place the tissue paper flame as in the previous step 67 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:44,649 and glue the flame with a glue gun or with a few discreet pieces of scotch tape. 68 00:04:44,649 --> 00:04:48,329 To print the illustrated instructions and the patterns for this project,
