This project turned out to be a very quick and easy way to make a 3D shape out of strips of paper.1. I used orange construction paper in the standard 9"x12" size, and then used a paper cutter to make a pile of orange strips that were 1" wide by 12" tall. The students were given 10 strips of paper, a push pin and two paper fasteners. They were to stack the strips and use the push pin to help make a hole in each end through all the layers.
2. The pin is removed and replaced by the paper fastener. It's best to push it through just a couple of layers at a time.
3. The paper fastener legs are opened and the strips are adjusted around each pin until they are equally spaced apart and a globe shape takes place.
4. Black eyes and mouth are cut out and glued on with a glue stick. A string of yarn may be tied to one end.

That looks really fun!
I love your blog!! I'm a Speech Pathologist in an elementary school and I love to incorporate art into my lessons. Plus I have a very creative 5 year old son. I'm not creative enough to have my own ideas, but your blog provides the perfect solution! I'm subscribing now!
Thanks so much for taking time to write. I really love hearing all your feedback!
Awesome!
I just did this for my son's 3rd grade class' art appreciation lesson on "shape." It was a hit!! Thank you!
Thanks so much for this project! You saved me :) I was searching and searching for just one more lesson for my students--- my school does not allow any "halloween" projects, just fall, so I changed your "jack-o-lantern" into a normal pumpkin and added a stem on top with a hot glue gun and brown or green paper. THANK YOU AGAIN. I love your site :)
This was also a well liked project! The kids really enjoyed making their jack-o-lanterns! These would look so cute hanging in a classroom, I'll have to share your site with my teacher friends!
Thanks!
I have found some great ideas on your site, and have linked to
several of your creative projects. These links will help you be found more easily. I would really appreciate it if you would link back to me to make my site more easily found, also.
Here is a link to my page with your project:
