We made these a while back for family night. The kids loved it! It was messy and sticky, which was probably why it was a big hit with them. I chose to use orange paper because after all the mess of making them I really didn’t want to break out the paint. We blew up some balloons and covered them in the paper that had been dipped in watered down Elmer’s glue. The hardest part was waiting for them to dry! I ( uh, I mean my kids. . . ) don’t have a whole lot of patience. Some green paper leaves and pipe cleaner curly things finished them off. Every time my boys walk by them they comment on how fun it was.
I like this one—fun project to do with my kids with stuff I already have. Thanks!
So much fun! What a great project for the whole family!
What a great project for family night! Love it.
Totally fun, my kids played around with paper mache this weekend. I didn't help, and don't recall actually seeing anything come of their experiment, but they had fun. Gotta try this, it's easy, and looks great. Thanks for linking up to **AMAZE me AUGUST**, I really appreciate it, Bella :)
This is another great paper mache pumpkin pattern and looks like it can easily be made into a pinata as well! Thanks! I shared this craft on my blog along with credit and link to you.
I love these! I love paper mache projects…awesome…visiting from Bella before & after
This is such fun. My daughter and I made papier mache pumpkins and bats last year, and invited a friend over to do it this year. Phooey on Wii…let's get messy and have some fun the old-fashioned way! Love your pipe cleaner stems. Thanks for sharing. Glad to have found you on the Thursday follow!
