Fold-over seashells - fun as cards or gift tags. These seashell notecards are fun and easy to make. You can use them as bon voyage cards, gift tags, or just to write summery messages on. String them on some raffia to make a bunting for a patio party. Make them on a rainy day - and think sun and surf. Here's the pattern: To make: trace the pattern, cut them out. The larger shells have a "V" to cut at the top fold - use a craft knife over a cutting mat. Of course, it makes sense to pencil the radiating lines on the wrong side of the seashell. Now: make an impression. Place the card on a mouse mat or sponge flower-shaping mat. Emboss the lines using an embossing tool and a small metal ruler. The cards look fine unadorned, especially if made in pretty pearlescent paper. But for a crafty finishing touch, you can draw the ridges (I used Tim Holtz Distress markers in light colours) and sponge the edges (Distress Inks applied with Tsukineko Sponge Daubers). For the full monty, embellish with the starfish (use a sticky square for lift) and seaweed cut-outs applied with tacky glue.

The idea for this lesson came from an image I saw on Pinterest.. but after doing some investigative work - seems to have originated from the blog Art. Paper. Scissors. Glue and before that from the 1991 book written by Sara Beggs, "The No Nonsense Guide to Teaching Art." For this lesson we began by taking about what symmetry is and the difference between linear symmetry (1 line of symmetry) and radial symmetry (more than 1 line of symmetry). Then we talked about what a sculpture is (a piece of artwork you can see from all sides - it is 3-dimensional) and what a relief "sculpture" is (a piece of artwork that has depth on the surface but is not meant to be seen from all sides). Once students understood the principles behind radial symmetry and sculpture we began creating our very own radial paper relief sculptures! Students started by folding a piece of 12"x12" black construction paper diagonally both ways and vertical and horizontally (to create an 'X' crease and a '+' crease). Making these creases makes creating a radial design SO much easier because it gives you guidelines to work with. Once their papers had been folded and their names written, we sat them aside. Before having students begin folding their colored paper (each piece was cut to 3" x 3") to fill the inside of their design, I demonstrated 4 folds to them to get them started. *Students were allowed to deviate from these folds if they wanted to. To download the handout below, click on the arrow button in the top right corner (this will open it in a new window). You can download from there. My kids absolutely LOVED this project! They are already super into origami, so this project was like heaven to them! :) You might also be interested in checking out my Paper Poinsettia Sculpture lesson which uses the same basic concepts.
