Have you noticed lately that something that used to be extra... or special... or elective is now the most important thing to do? What have you noticed people doing now that they are "stuck" at home? You can only watch so much TV and play so many video games before you notice your brain feeling a little mushy... needing something more.
People. You need to MAKE something, DO something, CREATE something. Below I will be posting some things that you can do at home to help you out when you suddenly feel that itchy, scratchy, yucky feeling in the back of your head that says... "Wake up! It's time to MAKE something." I'm here to help you with that awful question.... "What do I MAKE?"
Last week we brought you cardboard sculpting tips because we just knew that you would have a lot of the basic supplies that you might need around the house. This week we bring you something a little more messy but maybe... just maybe a lot more fun! Below is a recipe that I whipped up but you can find lots of variations on there on the internet. Check out this post from The Spruce Crafts for various ideas to improve your paste, video tutorials, and cool projects to try out. So if the geometry of using cardboard boxes has you down and you are looking for something more organic look no further than your recycle bin for answers. LOTS of things can become a base to create a great form that can then be covered in your paper and homemade paste.
