Students in my after school art club have been building these amazing paper mache letters. They start by cutting cardboard initials of their name. We hot glue paper towel tubes to add a space in between. Students then tape the sides completely. Then the fun of paper mache begins!!! We paper mache first with newspaper, then white paper, and then tissue paper (which completely stains their hands). After the paper mache is dry, students can glue on little details with buttons and strings. They also can paint or sharpie designs on top of their letter. These do take a long time to complete, but are well worth it! I will add more pictures as soon as this closet full are finished!
