How To Make Golden Paper Pulp Fruit For Crafting

How To Make golden paper pulp fruit for crafting is just the thing to delve into now, in order to have some stunning elements for Chanukah crafting, and then for the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat after that! I am focusing on inspiration from decorative elements from the Bait HaMikdash in crafts with my fifth grade students, so grapes and pomegranates it is! Plus the are the perfect recognizable shape for a project like this one.

And yes friends, these were made with egg carton paper pulp and glue, and a cardboard backing, and then painted once dry! Encourage the mindset of using what we have on hand rather than running to the store to buy art supplies, and make something similar!

You’ll Need:

• my tutorial for paper pulp grapes and pomegrantes

• egg cartons

• white glue

• cereal box cardboard

• metallic gold paint

How To:

Follow the tutorial in the link, and set aside to dry, it may take at least a week, so plan ahead!

2. Once totally dry make sure there are no loose grapes, and if so, adhere with glue before painting.

3. Paint with metallic gold paint, making sure to paint any cardboard peeking out as well.

4. Set aside to use as decorative elements on the base of a crafted Chanukah menorah, hang them in a garland, or use to decorate a frame of some kind. Of course there are many other ways to use them as well!
