Michelle Barrera let me use lots great pictures of how her church, Teaching Word Faith Center (Fort Worth, TX) decorated for Athens VBS several years back. Here is how they made large pots.

At our art classes we use different materials. Some of our three dimensional projects have been made out of Papier-mâché. Papier-mâché is an enormously versatile and exciting craft medium. It allows creating three dimensional objects out of pieces of paper stuck together with glue or starch. It also can be reinforced with fabric. When the object is dry it becomes solid. Much of its appeal is based on the simplicity of the techniques used and the ready availability of the materials needed –…
