ReplyDeleteThese are really nice.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what materials you used? Thanks. Is that plastic or cardboard, the color pieces?
ReplyDeleteAnd how did they get the pice attached to the bottom square?
DeleteWe filled little ketchup cups with clay. While the clay was wet, students stuck the pipe cleaners into the clay and we let it dry like that. Then they painted them later. The color pieces are cut outs of soft foam found at a craft store. Pipe cleaners and poster board for the base
Deletethanks. what kind of glue did you use to glue the ketchup cups to the base? I'm trying this next week. Appreciate your posting this great project.
