Fake Leather Jar* Ms. Sherry remembers making these way back when she was a Scout. Simply cover a babyfood jar with masking tape. Water down brown acrylic paint and brush on. Once the paint dries it looks like fake leather. You may need to paint the jar more than once depending on the "tone" you're looking for. This is a nice substitute for clay pots when learning about Native Americans. It's very easy to draw designs or Native American symbols on these jars with Sharpie markers or Puffy Paints. *Did not make at event due to laytex allergies. |
 |
Jewel Jar* A babyfood jar, scraps of tissue paper, fabric, and jewels. Simply water down Elmer's glue and brush onto the babyfood jar a little at a time (the cheap dollar store paintbrushes work great) covering with tissue paper as you go. You may need to reapply glue mixture lightly on top of the tissue paper to ensure it adheres to the jar. Once the tissue paper has dried, attach small jewels around the jar. We made the lid cover from scraps of fabric cut with pinking shears and secured with a rubberband. *Alternate activity for fake leather jar. |
