Color Wheel Wreath
I am so excited that this project has combined my two favorite things: rainbow and winter decor! Although this lesson can be difficult to do with the class (it will take time), it will still be a fun project for an art teacher who loves to create and show colors in his class! After all, it can be used for educational purposes. You can mention this when discussing color schemes and / or color wheels.
So without further ado, let's start making color wheel crowns!
Materials required
So without further ado, let's start making color wheel crowns!
Materials required
- True-ray sulfite construction paper (the color of this paper lasts much longer than ordinary construction paper). The colors I use are yellow, gold, orange, holiday red, magenta, lilac, blue, teal, light green and bright lime.
- 12 x 12 inch white cardboard
- Chinese dinner
- Hot glue (but you can use sticky glue if you have a lot of patience)
- Scissors
It is very easy to make paper swirls for this project, basically the same instructions as a plain pink paper. All you have to do is cut 4 pieces of 4x4 heavy paper (about 4-6 in each color). Then use scissors and cut the circles into circles (make sure you are using all the paper). Then you cut a helix around the circle (shown in the picture below).
When you have finished cutting the propeller, start twisting it towards the middle of the propeller (starting from the outer edge). You can watch the video below for a better explanation.
After the paper is rounded, add hot glue (or adhesive glue) to the bottom of the spiral. It will be attached to the rest of the paper (basically the center of the helix).
Make a rule
To make my base, I started drawing a dining table the size of a chinet board on a piece of 12 "x 12" cardboard, then halved the CDT. After cutting two lines, I was placed with a cardboard ring.
Then I cut myself in the middle of the chinet board.
Then I put some warm glue on the edge of the china and put a cardboard ring on top.
If it is not already clear, it is not advisable to take pictures on white paper and whiteboard on a white background for the opposite reason. Yes, yes
Adding a wooden panel to the cardboard not only adds stability, but also gives you space to attach the crown to the wall.
Arrange the crown
To make sure my colors matched, I started putting red and green papers on a blackboard (but I haven't pasted them yet). If you teach this lesson in class, it will be a good opportunity to talk about extra color (anti-color).
Then I added the rolls of yellow, orange, blue and purple paper so that they are aligned with the extra color.
Once that's done, I start filling in the blanks with third-degree paint. Once this is done on the clipboard, you will have a better idea of how many more sheets of paper you need to fill in the remaining blanks.
After placing all the paper, I begin to glue the strips of paper: red, then green, orange, then blue and yellow, then purple (again to make sure my color stays the same). Then I glued all the colored pieces of paper on top.
Beautiful choir !! I can't wait to hang out with my class (when I get back from a long maternity leave)! ⁇
