1. Emphasize to students that their shapes MUST overlap.
2. I use a black chisel tip marker to define the edge of each row of shapes to guide students as they cut.
3. Wooden blocks as tracers is optional. I use wooden blocks for their durability and novelty.
4. To create FORM;
Anchor end of shape row onto head band with a staple,
Slide a small section of shape row over toward staple,
Paper will pop up in a wave,
Staple next to wave and continue pop up process until shape row is completely fastened to center of head band.
5. To prevent scratches on foreheads from staples, I always staple from the back of the headband. This ensures the short folded ends of the staples are located on the FRONT of the headband.
