Supplies:
Brown paper bags or craft paper
Acrylic craft paint
Brushes
Masking tape
First the paper bags were cut into manageable pieces. We cut them into 9 to 10 inch squares. Next, we taped them into place, taping just two sides, onto flexible plastic that we use for work surfaces. This kept the paper stable while residents applied the paint.
We then painted the paper with acrylic craft paint and dried the pieces with a hand held dryer. Finally the paper was decorated with additional colors that were stenciled on, sponged on, or dotted on with a cotton swab. In the picture you can see strips of blue masking tape along the edges of the paper. That will be trimmed off so don't worry about the edges.
Bet you wonder what to do with all your lovely looking paper? That's going to happen on week two of this project and we'll show you next month. Bet you can come up with some great ideas of your own.
