Milk Carton Windmill: Door

Video Transcript

"We're going to add a little more color to the windmill. We'll put one more decoration, and I'll show you how to make a door at the bottom of the windmill. For that we're going to use two colors, we'll use one solid color for the actual door, and we'll put a different color around it as a border to make it stand out. We'll pour the glue on the milk carton, directly on the milk carton, into the area that we want the door to be. We don't have to worry that it's going to be exact because the glue dries clear. I'll lay the sticks flat against the milk carton, and we'll put enough that will be the size of the door and also, that we can lay the border on top. So, we see that the door is yellow and the green border is like the door post and that's basically, how we make the door for our windmill. Even a real windmill will have the door at the bottom so that people will be able to walk up to the top of the tower. And we should just make sure that it doesn't interfere with the spinning of the windmill, because even though it's not very thick, but it does stand out from the base of the milk carton, so that if you have a very minimal space between the arms of the windmill to the milk carton it might disturb the spinning of the windmill. So, just make sure you still have enough space for the windmill to turn freely and showing you how to make another decoration on the windmill."
