This week's  unplugged project:  Wrinkle

We made paper flowers in anticipation for spring.  First we tried these which were too complicated for Rose Red so I ended up making only two by myself.  They ended up looking more like full blown roses rather than the shapely young roses they were supposed to end up looking like (however, I think we liked the romantic look of our full bloomed roses better)

  

   

 

But prettier still were the ones we made together.  They were very simple ~ just colored tissue cut into two size circles, stacked and pierced through with pipe cleaner which was then twisted into a stem.  Finally we wrinkled the colored tissue into beautiful flowers.

 

   

   

 

 

So cheerful !

We discovered that when our walnut boats were not completely filled with wax they tended to fill up with water instead.  As you can see by this last pic they would capsize ~ we are now working on the new improved version.

We had a lot of fun with this project though and were able to put some 'old' art projects of Rose Red's to use making the sails.  Moldable wax would work too but all we had was the candle.
