Building a Church Craft Project

 

Church Craft

You will need:
 
  •  Small carton (from milk, Goldfish, Whoppers, whipped cream, etc.)
  • paint
  • pipe cleaner (gold or white)
  • coffee filters
  • colored paper

 

                   plus
   
  • crayons
  • ruler
  • scissors
  • paint brush/foam stick
  • glue stick
  • tape

 

Instructions
 1. Clean the inside of your carton thoroughly.  
 2. Use a variety of crayons to scribble on the coffee filters. Be sure to cover the whole filter. 
 3.Spritz the filter with a little water so the colors run together. 
 4.

Set aside to dry.  (You will cut 'stained glass windows' from the filter later.)

 
 5.Paint the carton and set aside to dry. 
 If needed use a hair dryer set on low to make the paint dry faster on the filter and/or the carton. 
 7.Use a ruler to measure how long and wide the windows, doors, and shingles should be, based on the size of your carton. 
 8.Cut windows from the coffee filter. 
 9.Multiply the desired width of your door by 3 and cut a rectangle. Fold each end of the rectangle in to make the two doors and draw handles on each door.  
 10.Glue the back of the door to the carton. 
 10.After cutting two more rectangles for roof shingles, cut a scalloped edge (picture above) on one long edge. 
 11.Use a glue stick to stick windows and shingles in place.  The open end of the carton should be at the back of the church. 
 12. Cut about 1/3 of a pipe cleaner and twist it horizontally onto the remaining pipe cleaner to make the cross for the top of the church.  
 13.Use tape (either regular or doublestick) to fix the cross in place at the top of the church.
