Papyrus!

In my Ancient geography class at Co-op - we decided to make our own papyrus.

This was so easy (except who gives glue/water to 16 3rd-8th graders and tells them "not to make a mess"...)

We used paper lunch bags that we tore into strips.

Then, dipped them into glue/water mixture (like paper mache) in a criss-cross pattern. We let them dry on tin-foil so it was easy to pull them off.


Afterward, we decorated our papyrus with some Egyptian stencils.

Turned out nice!
