Hi All,
You may have seen on internet, that many have recycled old spark-plugs into various decorative items like X-Wing, biplane, etc. All of these are made by welding metallic sheets on the spark-plug. Now I am not qualified ot trained to use a welding machine but I wanted to make one....
So, In this instructable, I will share how to make a decorative biplane using an old spark-plug, some popsicle sticks and spare buttons that we never use.
What Do We Need ?
