Using Brown Paper

That is supposed to read "like wall paper" in my July 7 post. We used brown paper like the stuff people used to use for wrapping packages for mailing. I found 10ft long rolls at the Dollar Tree (some of the rolls had animal print or dragon flies on one side but I used the plain side). We used some black paint we got for $5.00 at Home Depot, a messed up mix that was supposed to be dark green I think. And a big yellow sponge, the kind used for washing cars from Walmart. The paper goes up fast, the spongeing goes very fast and it looks so cool. We made another jail in the Drama room using this technique, and hung black crepe streamers for bars. Then we made the jailer's home with the same technique but added windows (squares, arches, painted dark blue). The whole effect is very cool and the kids are having a great time. I really need to figure out how to post the digital photos.
