Animal Wednesday - Paperoni Art Project

During my recent snow days, I was digging through the closet where my Ema keeps potential presents and I came across this colorful Paperoni (paper and fun rolled into one!) box. It seemed like to perfect outlet for my snow-day boredom, and Ema was kind enough to let me have it.

The kit includes this very cool Paperoni cutter, lots of colorful sticks and some pre-cut pieces of Paperoni paper, and a few sticky molds that I could use to create things.

My favorite was the 3D mold that I could turn into an animal so I went to work on that one first. There were 600 Paperoni Pieces that were already cut into 1/2" sizes so I started sticking those on the animal's head. The pieces were tiny and although the kit came with these big tweezers, I found it was easier to just use my hands.

But it wasn't long before I noticed the big purple and red cutting machine and started trying to figure it out. I had to ask for some help, but I quickly discovered that cutting the sticks of Paperoni was a lot more fun than sticking the pieces on the animal mold. I cut piece after piece until there weren't any left to cut.

And then I didn't feel like sticking the pieces on the animal mold anymore. So I tried the flat molds but that really wasn't much fun either.

So I moved the tiny cut pieces into a big bowl and played with them instead. After I got the pieces all over the living room floor, my Ema made me pick them up and put the whole thing away. I'm sure I'll eventually get back to the Paperoni kit but it just wasn't my thing on that particular day.

Since I didn't finish my Paperoni animal, Happy "naked" Animal Wednesday to everyone!
