#EtharaAtHome – Car Body Design & Make

Overview
You will use the template on slide 4 to create your own #EtharaAtHome Car Body
graphic design. You could simply print the template out to the decorate / colour by
hand or, our preference, use the graphics tools in PowerPoint to create your design

Step 1
On Slide 2, review the tips and hints for decorating using PowerPoint

Step 2
Review Slide 3 which shows and example design created using PowerPoint. You might
get some ideas from here

Step 3
Go to Slide 4 and create your own design. When its done, print out on A4 paper. Thicker
paper card (180 – 200 gsm) is better if you have it. Next carefully cut each part out.
Finally, follow the fold, glue and assemble instructions in the #EtharaAtHome Car
Makers guide to add your customized car body to the Car Chassis.
