The girls made some really cool Chihuly inspired art at the museum on Sunday. First they did these bowls. We placed plastic wrap inside of plastic bowls to make forms then they cut and or tore pieces of colored vellum paper and layered and glued them. We brought them home in plastic bags and I let them sit on the counter to dry out. I love the way they turned out.

While the bowls were drying we went to another area of the museum where they made these fun lanterns. They even gave us the light kit so they really work. They each chose a sheet of vellum and placed glue dots along one end so they could form a cylinder. Then the fun part was decorating them with pipe cleaners, colored wire, colorful sheets of acetate and hole punches. The kids were very creative they each came up with their own styles.
