The lesson portion can be read at “auntiesbiblelessons.wordpress.com” The instructions are here because of the available media space.
It is important that you make one of these ahead of time or you will not be able to tell the kids how to fold properly. As I mentioned on my other blog, it is designed for older students.
1. Print a pattern on card stock for each student. It w
ould be a good idea to use another color so there is a good contrast with the white robe.
2. Lightly tape to a magazine and carefully cut out entire robe with
a sharp craft blade. These should be prepared before class so there are no cut fingers!
A3. Place tape in space. 3a. Tape robe pattern in center of space
Now you will need to cut your white coffee filters. I used cone and basket filters. Decide if you want to utilize the groves in your design…it is a little more difficult. Separate your filters. Note: one section tears easily.
4. Cut one inch strips. Number lightly with pencil in top edge. These will be trimmed and not show
5. Start with number 1. Fold and place fold on line. Tape each end securlely with magic tape…you do not want tape to show so only tape in places where you won’t be placing strips.
6. Fold and tape in numerical order always placing folds towards the center.
7. When you complete taping your strips, loosen tape and turn project around. You can leave the center plain (photo above ). or add more pleats. (Photo also above….don’t ask!!!!!!)
