Cara Membuat Sepeda Hias 17 Agustus
17 Agustus is the day that Indonesia declared its independence in 1945. Every year, on this day, the Indonesian people celebrate their independence with various activities including parades, flag-hoisting ceremonies, and decorating their houses with Indonesia's flag colors of red and white. One of the popular ways to decorate is by using bicycles that are decorated with the Indonesia flag colors. In this article, we will show you how to make your own bicycle decorations for the 17th of August celebration.
What You Will Need
Before starting the decoration, prepare the following materials:
- A bicycle.
- Two rolls of red crepe paper.
- Two rolls of white crepe paper.
- Scissors.
- Double-sided tape.
- String.
- Stapler.
- Indonesia's flag.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bicycle
Clean the bicycle thoroughly so that it is free from dirt and dust. You can apply a coat of wax to make it shiny.
Step 2: Cover the Frame
Cut the crepe paper into strips of about 30 centimeters in length. Next, wrap the strips of red and white crepe paper around the frame of the bicycle, alternating the colors. Use double-sided tape to attach the crepe paper securely to the frame.
Step 3: Decorate the Wheels
For the wheels, use the string to measure the circumference of the wheels. Cut the white crepe paper into strips of the same length as the string. Then, cut the red crepe paper into smaller strips and attach them to the white strips using a stapler. Finally, wrap the combined strips around the wheels and attach them using double-sided tape.
Step 4: Attach the Flag
Attach the Indonesia flag to the handlebars of the bicycle. You can use string or tape to attach it.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
If you want to add more decorations, you can use artificial flowers or colored ribbons to add more flair to the bicycle. Just make sure it doesn’t make the bicycle too heavy to ride.
Conclusion
Decorating a bicycle for the 17 Agustus celebration is a fun activity that can bring the family together while also showing patriotism for Indonesia. With these simple steps, you can create a unique bicycle decoration that will stand out in the parade. Happy Independence Day!
