Materials You’ll Need:
- two dinner sized paper plates
- two pint-sized drink cartons
- acrylic craft paint and paint brushes
- double stick tape or glue
- stickers for decorations (optional)
- craft knife
Instructions:
- Fold paper plate in half and cut along the fold. Either staple or glue the two halves together. Join the two drink cartons together with glue or double-stick tape.
- Paint your plates and cartons. Apply details such as port-holes and windows with paint or stickers or adhesive backed patterned paper. If you would like to make a base for your Ark, paint and decorate the back side of a whole paper plate as well.
- Once paint has dried, join the carton portion to the plate portion with double stick tape or glue. The base plate becomes a base by cutting a slit in the middle of the plate with a craft knife. Cut the slit in the shape of an elongated capital letter I.
- Insert your ark into the base, and cut a small portion off the bottom of the ark if necessary to help it stand up.
- If you prefer, omit the base, and hang your ark by attaching string or ribbon to the top of the drink cartons. One way would be to use a hole punch to make two holes, one in the center of each carton, and then attach a cute coordinating ribbon.
