These are great to make in correlation with a Social Studies lesson on different geographical regions. We took a pencil a sketched out a design, then took another piece of paper and carefully drew our finalized sketch. Then, we took Elmer's glue and followed the line with the glue and let it dry. It usually takes about a full day. Then we took gold metallic paint (I tested several and Sargent's worked the best) and painted all over the paper, not too thick that you lose the dried glue design. Once the paint is dry, after a few minutes, we took ink and dropped some on the paper and took paper-towels and spread it all over to give it that old rustic antique look. We also made African masks in this same manner, the students loved making all kinds of different looking faces according to different animals and spiritual leaders of that culture. We then cut the faces out and glued them "pop-up" style on black paper and decorated the border with construction paper crayons. Everyone had a blast!!
