unfortunately my camera wasn’t recording for the majority of the process, but after hours of shaving, i have an overall shape im happy with. before moving onto details, i decided to start ‘filling’ the lids to the hidden compartments to give them their basic shape and to make sure they fit correctly🙏 . . . #fyp #foryou #cardboard #cardboardcrafts #cardboardcutout #art #artist #artistsoftiktok #sculpture #DIY #fun #gummybear #candy #bear #giant #xl #giantcandy #part3 #capcut #edit #capcutedit

the base is finally full, and the backbone is ready🙏 now it’s on to shaping the body and limbs, and covering it all up. slowly but surely, it’s coming together and looks better every day😍🤞 . . . #fyp #foryou #cardboard #cardboardcrafts #cardboardcutout #art #artist #artistsoftiktok #sculpture #DIY #fun #gummybear #candy #bear #giant #xl #giantcandy #part2 #capcut #edit #capcutedit

the great hammerhead #cardboardshark tutorial is up🦈✨ the link is in my bio, or you can find the video on youtube if you search "the great hammerhead full tutorial" thank you to everyone who patiently followed and supported this project trom day 1, and a very special thank you again to @Sequoia for the inspiration🖤 . . . #fyp #foryou #shark #sharks #sharkweek #craft #crafts #crafty #tutorial #tutorials #fullvideo #youtube #release #DIY #diyproject #art #artist #create

the mystery #cardboardshark projects are finished🦈✨ although i thought doing 2 at a time would be easier to manage, i was wrong. it was nice to be able to work on one, let the other dry and switch, but it also meant my videos got all jumbled up and made the editing process longer. i stopped tracking the hours spent after i finished painting the base coat for both sharks, which totaled to ~40 hours, but i estimate it took another 20 hours minimum to fully complete them with the finishing paint details, top coat and bottom padding. they are very different from the vision i pictured in the beginning, but i’m overall satisfied with how they turned out:) next up…😏 . . . #fyp #foryou #shark #sharks #mystery #sharkweek #marinebiology #lemon #lemonshark #greatwhiteshark #craft #DIY #art #artist #capcut #edit #transition #final

the great white #cardboardshark is ✨complete✨ i decided to make this shark (instead of a tiger shark, which was the original vision) because of the potential sighting of the newborn gw recently spotted off the coast of southern california. although it’s not confirmed, i’m hoping that the footage is correctly identified, and we can learn more about the youth of this particular species🦈 i love how the shading turned out and am excited to see how it looks with its glossy top coat on🖤 . . . #fyp #foryou #shark #sharks #sharkweek #marinebiology #greatwhiteshark #cardboard #craft #DIY #art #progress #transition #edit #capcut

after over 50 hours of work, lots of backtracking and reshaping, part 5 is finally here! i decided to add some eyes, as well as some detailing on the nose. i covered the entire project in masking tape, but unfortunately didn’t account for the extra space i needed when covering it again with the plaster cloth. i shaved down another 1/4” on each ‘foot’ and that seemed to do the trick. the final steps are sealing any tiny gaps and the paint job…any color suggestions?👀🎨 part 6 and final reveal coming soon🤞🎉 . . . #fyp #foryou #cardboard #cardboardcrafts #cardboardcutout #cardboardart #art #artist #artistsoftiktok #sculpture #DIY #diyproject #diycraft #fun #gummybear #gummygame #gummycandy #candy #giant #giantcandy #xl #bear #timelapse #part5 #update #capcut #edit #capcutedit

the feet and mouth took a while to carve, but they all fit well in their designated slots. i am debating whether or not i need to shave down a quarter inch or so more, considering they will be covered again, but we’ll see👀 thank you for your patience and support during this project, as it’s clearly taking longer than anticipated🙏 . . . #fyp #foryou #cardboard #cardboardcrafts #cardboardcutout #art #artist #artistsoftiktok #sculpture #DIY #diyproject #fun #gummybear #gummygame #candy #bear #giant #giantcandy #xl #part4 #update #timelapse #capcut #edit #capcutedit
