Q&A for How to Make a Diorama

Do a little research to find out what they eat, where they live, and what they look like. Then, design the appropriate wilderness background with a few plastic trees for props. Create the bear out of cardboard or some other material and prop it up in the diorama.

Make the bottom dark blue for the sea. Paint the walls on all sides with lighter and lighter shades of blue (sea into sky). Add some otter toys (printed otters glued to board). The animals could be supported by things like mini-figure stands or poster tack. Arrange them so they look as though they are swimming in the area you want. Add some raffia or similar for kelp and a few plastic fish toys for their meals. You could include a rocky outcrop for them to sleep and play on.

Paint the background blue and add some fish and a coral reef. On the bottom, put some seahorse toys and paint algae for them to eat and seaweed for them to cling onto. Hang a few seahorse toys from the lid into the diorama, using fishing monofilament or invisible thread. Add a label and you're all set.

Research themes that were popular at that time, like architecture and fashion, then include those elements in your diorama.

You could make a diorama about the movie "Inside Out." It has characters with different emotions for names, like Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust.

You can make an Easter scene. Just don't leave the diorama out for too long, because ants will want to eat the sugar.

Draw some thick branches and cover them with green paper to make trees. Make vines out of green string, and put the anaconda in the trees.

First, choose the place. If it's a street scene, include lots of colors and people. If it's a natural scene, some of the tips in this wikiHow article should help you.

Put pieces of cardboard between each generation and paint onto each side of the pieces.

You can get figurines of Jesus and his disciples. If you don't have them, you can try to make them and try to keep the clothing faithful to the period. Get a small bucket (doll size) and fill it with real water or something closely related. You can use a doll-sized rag, and the background can be decorated to reflect the time period.

Make a sky background using the instructions above and then blow up a balloon. Use a bottle lid or another small type of cup for the basket. Then, tape the balloon to the back of your diorama so it looks like it's floating in the sky and decorate the rest of the diorama.

You could fill a container with water, place it in a larger bin, then surround the outside of the bowl with sand. Craft your island with a floating material, such as Styrofoam.

First you need a box. Make the background light or dark blue, depending if you are focusing on shallow or deep waters. You can then add fish like sharks and eels. If you want to simulate land, add either rocks or sand. For an added effect you could put in seaweed and fish hanging from invisible thread.

Fill in the shoebox with blue paper to represent the water. Take clay and mold it into a "Grand Canyon" kind of shape. To make the trench more realistic, make jagged and smooth lines into the clay for a more rustic and rocky look. Next, attach your sea creatures to a string and tape or hot glue it onto the inside top of the shoebox. Keep adding more sea animals and some fake coral (available at any pet or fish store), and you're all set!

Make the scene. Figure out where you want them to be and when. Then, find a humanoid figure(s) or make your own, paint or sew the uniforms, and if you must, re-strand the hair or make hair out of clay and secure it on the head. Wait for this to dry, and place the figure(s) in the diorama, using a bit of super glue to secure it in place, and present it.

Use fishing line and cotton balls for the clouds, so that they can hang in the sky without the audience seeing what is holding up the clouds. Add some lightning to make it look more realistic.

Put the bottom as a light brown and draw in cracks with a Sharpie. Then, decorate the rest, example: broken buildings, sky, screaming people, etc.

Sure, a diorama can be made from any of these items included on your question; a box is simply inexpensive and usually readily-available.

Any kind of box will work.

Read the books and choose your favorite moment and make a diorama of that. This will require a bit of reading and some time, but it will be worth it!

You could use many things to make a figure in your diorama. You could use Lego figurines, you could find modeling clay, or you could make it out of paper if any other objects are unavailable. One thing I used to make people out of in my diorama was pipe cleaners.

Make sure you know all of the details of that specific scene. Make sure to consider the setting, environment, and the color scale (use darker colors for a gloomier mood). Include tiny details that are written in the text, like a stray cat or a silhouette in the background.

Select a hollow cavity that bonds easily to Elmer's glue. Gather supplies you need to recreate the waterfall with paper, ribbon, felt, etc. Compile the supplies into a waterfall diorama.
