Treasure Chest--Under the Sea (part 9)



Since these next crafts are accessories, you will see the completed chest when it is in the final stage of mounting.  The kids in this last week have endured since February 23 on this project. I commend them for lasting so long.  As you will see, only a few kids are now participating in the finishing details. Here, two boys are working on the treasure chest.


There's no pulling teeth for painting anything. All hands on deck are staining the ship.


This was a no fuss project; remember it's all in the details!


Supplies:
1. paint stirrers (free at your Home Depot, or paint store)
2. newspaper
3. brown paint
4. bowls
5. paint brushes
6. hot glue gun
7. small craft sticks (design on outside of chest)

Directions:
1. lay out newspaper on table
2. pour brown paint into small bowls
3. cover paint stirrers with brown paint
4. let dry
5. construct chest with hot glue

Duration:
This was a two day project: a day for drying, day two for designing and hot gluing chest together)
