Today is duhhhh.... Star Wars Day. Need some motivation to get reading?! Maybe Darth Vader can help. Let's turn him into a bookmark! You need: Black piece of construction paper (cut in half) Scissors Glue Black marker White crayon I will put the steps below. Most of my older students have done the bookmark making process. We turn bookmarks into ALL KINDS OF THINGS in the art room! Let's get started! With your half sheet of black construction paper, fold the corner over (pictured above). Then cut off the rectangle below. This leaves you with a triangle (or square if opened). Once you have your triangle, fold the top part of the triangle down to the bottom. Take the right side and fold up. Now fold the left side up. Tuck both sides into the pocket you just formed. That rectangle that you cut off, go ahead and grab it. Draw a semicircle on it and cut it out. Then, fold the semicircle in half and cut a small semicircle (this will be the top of the eyes). Also, cut out a small triangle. Now, glue the top of the head on. Then, glue the triangle under the pocket. Now, add designs! I did mine with black sharpie, white crayon, a metallic silver sharpie and went over with paint. For the red and blue buttons, you can do it with crayons, colored pencils, paint or even nail polish! Have fun! Happy 4th!
Xx, Mrs. Gipaya
