Paper Comets with Ridiculous Destinations
Curl three paper comets and send them somewhere delightfully unlikely.
Time: 15–30 minutes
Use paper you have. Loose arrangements work well; glue is optional and drying time is not included.
What you need
- paper
- scissors
- pen
Optional supplies
- glue
- colored pencils
Try this idea
- Cut three broad paper strips and keep a spare piece of paper as your background.
- Curl each strip loosely around a pen, then slide it off. Leave a section uncurled for a tail.
- Arrange the curls on your background and draw a trail behind each.
- Name their destinations, such as Planet Lost Teaspoon. Leave the pieces loose, or glue them if you want to keep the arrangement.
A smaller version
Use one pre-cut strip and give it a loose bend.
A good place to stop
One curled comet and a destination make a complete scene.
Make it work for you
Skip cutting and curling if hand use is uncomfortable. Arrange pre-cut pieces flat and draw the curves.
Another way in
Turn your curls into sleeping snails rather than comets.
