MARIE ANTOINETTE’S
PETIT TRIANON
You will need
1 traditional beach or patio umbrella
10 curtain rings clips*
Old costume jewelry
Throw pillows
Put the curtain ring clips on the ribs of
the umbrella by slipping the rib point out
of where it is tucked into the umbrella
shade at the end. Slip the ring on, and
slip the shade back onto the rib point.
Hang the sheets on the clips; to bunch
up the “curtains,” slip bracelets onto the
sheets.
Add a bunch of pillows underneath for a
lounge effect.
You’re ready to throw a tea party with
your friends!
*Depending on the size of your umbrella,
we recommend a pack of 10 with two
clips at each rib point.
WIG
You will need
1 empty oatmeal container
2 sheets of 18 x 12 white paper
1 pencil
1 yard of string
116 | SWEET PAUL . SPRING 2011
Cover the oatmeal container with white
paper.
Create 1-inch-wide strips, about 4 inches
longer than the height of the box.
Attach enough paper around the
perimeter of the bottom and gently
bring up to the top, leaving space around
strips.
Cut and roll more 1-inch-strips around
a pencil; attach on the inside of the
oatmeal box opening with tape or glue
(for “curls” to fall around your child’s
face).
Create a tie with a piece of string or
binding; attach at the mouth with a
staple.
FAN
You will need
15-inch square piece of paper, in the
color of your choice, any scale
Elmer’s glue
Like an accordion, pleat the paper into
1-inch folds (it will look like a thick strip
half way down).
Fold the strip in half.
Where the two halves now touch, dab
with glue, or if you don’t want to hold it
and wait for it to dry, use clothespins.
When dry, the fan will naturally unfurl.
