Supplies
- A paper plate - Strip of glitter paper - A string matching with the glitter Paper - 5-10 large confetti pieces
Take the plate, either cover it in glue and dump the confetti on top,or glue one down at a time around the plate. Once the confetti’s on, glue the paper. Strip at the top of the plate, attach the ribbon loop. Supplies
- Two pieces of paper - A rock - String - A black marker
Crumble up the paper to make them more moveable, flatten out on top of each other and place the rock in the middle. Wrap the paper on the rock, leave the extra hanging. Tie string around the paper, and draw a face.
“I like how simple these are” - Nathan Niesen, sophomore
Cut the paper horizontally to make it about three inches wide, roll and tape together. Cut out two strips of black paper, one as pants, other with spikes for hair. Add one black rectangle and two white triangles glued on to make the face. Supplies
