We followed these instructions (basically). Here is our show-and-tell:
- Punching balloon hung from the kitchen ceiling. First layer of (black-and-white) newspaper and flour/water paste.
- With completed second layer (coloured newspaper).
- With third layer (black-and-white again) and cut-out and reversed disk to form the laser dish.
- Covered in grey tissue paper strips. We joked about using the perfectly coloured duck tape instead - I think that might have beaten even the most enthusiastic party guest!
- Finishing touches. Our spray glitter was a bit too close in colour to the background so we added some detail with paint. Not perfect, but still quite satisfying.
- Hanging in the basement until the party - looking slightly ominous and causing us to start singing the Imperial March every time we go down there.
Not that long ago in a country far, far away...
ReplyDeleteIt is a period of birthday parties. Exile spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Exile#2 managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, a papier mache space station with enough power to destroy an entire basement. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Exile#3 races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...
