Materials Needed
Gold Spray Paint
Large Paper Plate (Vanity Fair Paper Plates has one that is 11")
Flat Backed Acrylic Jewels
Puffy Paint (I use the glittery type) A circular pattern (like a lid) measuring about 5" around
Scissors
Pencil
Before the child works with the plate spray paint the plate front and back with gold spray paint. This is the easiest way and then children can concentrate their efforts on the design, unless you would rather work with the child in this process as well. I would suggest that you do this part outside, in the gravel or on newspaper. At my home we often have gravel in the driveway that is many different colors from all the paint! Working with the plate upside down, place the 5" circular pattern on the plate toward one edge about 1" away. Trace around the circle with a pencil. Cut around the circle and discard the center. You may need to use a different sized stencil depending upon the size of the child's neck. Cut a 1" slit toward the edge closest to the circle. Decorate as you choose using Acrylic Jewels and Puffy Paint. You can paint or use Macaroni as well. The photos above will give you some ideas of how Egyptian Collars looked, these photos are of Tutankhamen (King Tut's) Burial Jewelry. This is a fun project to go along with the cuffs that I posted earlier. Great for an Egyptian Princess Pharaoh (Cleopatra or Nefertiti) or Prince Pharaoh (King Tut or Ramses). Good idea for Halloween Costumes. The collars that are done here were created with paint. After trying out the cuffs I think that puffy paint and jewels would work so much better on the collars, and allow the child so much more creativity, so that is what I am suggesting.
