A Pirate's Life For Me!

As I mentioned earlier, we are working on pirates for the next few days since our theme is Sand & Surf.
The students  imagined themselves as pirates. We did a foursquare writing to create the projects. You can pick up a copy of it below.


After they wrote their final draft, we "painted" the papers with a mixture of black tea bags and water. We stuck it under a dryer and it boom, aged paper! After rolling the edges to give it a scroll look, we added it to the pirate ship my co teacher made. It's pretty unbelievable to look at!

Using a mixture of water and black tea we coated the paper.


Finished look.....vintage scroll!


Our AMAZING pirate ship!!!!!


So my co-teacher is pretty ridiculous when it comes to crafty things, I finally managed to snap a picture of her, which she hated by the way. Have to give her credit for all her awesome projects!
