DIY: Hawaii State Float
By RachelToday I completed my State Float Project and I learned a lot about the beautiful State of Hawaii. I used materials I found around the house and some from my previous school projects.
Hawaii State Float.
Materials/Tools Needed
- Shoe Box
- Craft paper
- Sand
- Scissors
- Synthetic Palm Trees
- Rocks/Flat Stones
- Toothpick (for the flag and umbrella)
- Elmer’s glue
- Spray Paints
- Popsicle sticks/Skewers
- Plastic Ocean Creatures (or cutouts from drawings or Magazines)
Step by Step (for this project):
- Spray paint your shoe box (we used blue for sea, brown for beach and green for land)
- Decorate your craft papers before securing them onto the box using Elmer’s glue
- Use Popsicle sticks or Skewers to keep the edges of the paper craft straight
- For the sand I applied some glue and sprinkled sand all around
- I set the scenery to make it look like a fancy beach
The best part of this project was making the paper umbrella and the paper beach lounger.
Et voilà! My Hawaii State Float Project is complete. Now unto my video presentation!
