Use the creases as cutting guidelines to make 4 strips. Bend one strip pattern side up and attach the ends to make a loop, then add a second strip and attach the ends to make another loop. Continue looping more strips through each loop until you have the desired chain length.

We asked students in a class to draw themselves and their favorite things. We got back some beautiful and colorful drawings! Each of the Borders Papers represents a historical era or culture through the thematic illustrated frames, so they can be used as supplements to social studies lessons.

Spotlight on… Art Deco Paper

2015-04-20-FeatureImage

Build skyscrapers, cathedrals and city centers with R15308 Art Deco Paper! 

This paper craft has 8 fantastic patterns and colors fashioned in the art deco style. Art deco was a visual art style that emerged in the early 20th century and spanned across everything from art and architecture to fashion and interior design. Famous examples of this style used in architecture can be found in places such as New York City where the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building display prominent art deco lines and curves.

You can build your own art deco city with this paper pack. Fold the paper in half twice lengthwise. When you unfold the paper, you will see 4 fold lines. These fold lines can be turned into corners for each building. Tape up the paper edges to secure the paper into a cylinder. Alternatively, you can cut the shapes in half to shorten or lengthen the size of each building.

Combine the buildings with other elements such as our R49701 Highway Letters and R75304 Super Topplers to make the streets and people in your city! Explore lessons in community building and infrastructure. Talk about the history behind art deco architecture and the choices made to stylize buildings in certain ways.

You don’t just have to use the Art Deco Paper for building paper cities. In addition, the paper can be used to decorate journals, gift boxes or greeting cards! Cut the paper into shapes and paste onto the items to decorate.

Spotlight on… Celtic Designs Paper!

2015-02-23-FeatureImage

Beautiful Celtic designs are perfect for a variety of craft projects. Use the paper to decorate everything, from cards to paper doll clothing, decoupage boxes and more!

The R15279 Celtic Designs Paper pack is colorful and filled with the telltale knot patterns of ancient Celtic designs! Talk to your students about the history behind the knot patterns and what they represent. A favorite fact about knot patterns is that the Celtic knot symbolized eternity, of no beginning or end, and that everything in life is part of a cycle. Research more facts about Celts and how their existence affected the development of European society! Here are a few suggestions about what you can do with the Celtic Designs paper:

• Make a paper crown to round off your unit study about Celtic history! Use a basic crown template. Print it and cut it out to transfer the design onto the decorative paper. Trace the design onto the back of a sheet of Celtic Design Paper. Use the tracing as a guide for cutting out the crown. Alternatively, you can measure a students’ head and mark the end points on the long side of the sheet. Make the crown about 2 inches thick and draw intervals for crown points. Cut out the entire crown and secure it with tape to your student’s head.

• Make an exotic fan! Start accordion folding from the smaller side of the sheet to the opposite end. When you are finished, pinch one end and staple the folds together or secure with tape. This will be the handle for the fan. Hold at the bottom point and wave the fan back and forth to stay cool!

• Make a greeting card! Fold in the paper in half horizontally then fold in half again vertically. Write a sweet note on the inside. You can decorate the inside with stickers or embellishments!

Use the decorative paper as a great thematic addition to your history subjects–infuse a bit of art with history!
