Posted on June 22, 2022 by GlitterQueen

finished iris fold cross with edgingThe iris folding technique, which resembles the iris of the eye or the lens of a camera, can be used to make greetings cards or a picture to be framed. Strips of paper are folded in half and then stacked and taped in a spiral design. For the cross pattern in this project, four color coordinated papers are used to create the design. I used flower themed calendar pages for this cross. Click on the photo to see a full picture of it. You’ll find the directions and pattern for this “Iris Fold Cross” project under the Easter Projects Gallery in right sidebar.

LENTEN MILAGROS CROSS

Posted on June 22, 2022 by GlitterQueen

Milagros17Milagros is a Spanish word for “miracle” or “surprise,” and for many years the little charms have been used in prayer petitions and thanksgiving. For example: If your request is to heal a broken relationship, or for someone who has had a heart attack, the image could be shaped as a heart. The charms are attached to a cross, an altar, a wall of a church or to a statue of a saint.

To learn more about the Milagros and for directions on how this project can be used as a Lenten project, go to the lesson plan. You’ll find a supplies list and directions for making a “Milagros Cross” in the 6th Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar to the right.

ABSTRACT STAINED GLASS

Posted on June 22, 2022 by GlitterQueen

In our quest to imitate the abstract art of Van Gogh, we print sections of a drawing. Each section will be treated as an individual piece of stained glass. The student, after receiving a section showing random black marks on it, colors the spaces on the paper with oil pastels. Later, the sections are correctly assembled and together become an amazing portrait of Mary and Jesus. Look in the 6th Grade Projects Gallery for this “Abstract Art ala Van Gogh,” project.
