Cinco e Mayo quilt pattern

What is Cinco De Mayo?

This is a beautiful quilt made inspired by Cinco De Mayo!

 This is the plan for the design for our version of a paper 

Cinco De Mayo quilt. 

 There is a simple one for the older kids to add their own designs to before they color. 

For the younger kids, i made one a little more detailed with a zig zag for them to color. 

 We used crayons to color our desgins. 

 The design can be mounted to a background piece of construction paper. 

You can use a hole punch to add areas for string to decorate the edges of the artwork. 

Paper Plate Art

There's just something about a circle... when you have been drawing on a rectangle for so long. It is refreshing and inspiring to create on something round. I have been creating some Paper Plate art. I have been having fun and cannot stop! That scalloped edge is like a pre-designed border, just waiting to be emphasized with more lines and colors...

I hope I inspire you to design your own plate too! Have fun...

CRITERIA:

Make a border around the edge and a free design/drawing in the middle. 

OR

Make a Radial Design that repeats around the cirlce.

OR

Create a Unique Color Wheel around the plate. 

The next few were done as instructor examples by me, Tabitha "Seaton" Morgan...
