Maracas.....
6:46 PM
 |
| Some things you will need..... along with a bit of patience and willingness to deal with a BIG mess..... |
 |
| I used old yogurt cups....traced the tops on the cardboard and cut out the circles. |
 |
| Using a box cutter cut a line through the center long enough to insert a popsicle stick.... |
 |
| Place some dry beans or rice in the cups.....about 1/4 of the way full.... |
 |
| Using a generous amout of glue (I used hot glue) glue the tops on the yogurt cup.... |
 |
| Make up some paper mache..... basically just flour and water and a pinch of salt. pretty caky consistency...... |
 |
| It's messy but ohh so fun..... |
 |
| Sorry for the blurry picture.....rip peaces of newspaper dip in the paste and layer all the way around the yogurt container till well covered or shaped to your liking. Conner did the dipping and layering I just smoothed it out and held it for him. Let them dry overnight. |
 |
| When it's completely dry you can paint them..... |
 |
| This was Conner's favorite part...he loves to paint!!! |
 |
| shake shake shake |
 |
| How fun are these....ohh yeah I also used a clear coat of paint in a can to give it the glossy look and to keep the paint from rubbing off and chipping. |
