My boys and I have cabin fever. It has been too cold for too long. This weekend I ignored my chores and focused instead on creating an activity that would keep us busy.
I stumbled upon the image below via Pinterest. Apparently, what you see here are Paper Plant Character studies by Adam Frezza and Terri Chaio. I know, right. #genius
It was just the inspiration we needed to dive into a project.
We started with wire hangers. We bent them by hand into plant like shapes and stuck them into foam. Then we covered the wire with aluminum foil and then paper mache. We let the paper mache dry over night. The next day we painted them. It was that easy.


This last one was a joint effort by me and Alex. We plan to give it to Granny for Valentine’s Day. Shhhhh.
This was our first attempt. We hope to make many more. Well worth the little effort involved.
