Materials Needed:
- Shoe Box
- Paint
- Scissors
- Glue
- Miscellaneous Supplies (mentioned below)
Instructions:
Flip your box upside down and paint. You can use whatever colors you like, but the traditional colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green, and gold. If you want to use the lid, get creative by gluing it into a different position on the shoe box bottom. Let dry.
Gather miscellaneous supplies to decorate your float. A few ideas for supplies to gather are crepe or tissue paper, beads, foil, a small action figure or doll, ribbon, home-made gold coins (Doubloons), glitter. Use your imagination to create an original float!
