Shadow Sculptures!

Step 4 Building the shadow

Finally after all that set-up, you get to build the shadow!
This is actually easier than you may think. All it takes is filling in the perimeter you set-up earlier!

Some notes:

Picture 1
The cereal box has been torn on purpose. You should try to stray away from doing this too often, as it tends to be considered as "cheating". If you have no other options, you can resort to this, as in small parts it can be helpful and look pretty cool.


Picture 2
At times the pieces of junk that you use will need to be balanced in a certain position. This means that you will need them to be glued that way. But unfortunately, not all glues are instant. So you will need to hold it in place while it dries a bit.

Hot melt glue would be my choice for an adhesive. It has nearly instant sticking power. If you are a hot melt connoisseur, like myself, you would use three different guns: low temp: quick set, relatively safe. for light weight items. Available at craft stores, grocery stores, and department stores. This is what your preschool teacher uses. high temp: industrial power. for heavy weight items. Will fry your skin off, so be careful. These guns are not easy to find. You must get them at a tool supply company. But they work great. medium temp: for everything else. You can find these at any hardware store. Or you could just use the medium temp, which is what reasonable people do.

That's a good tip right there. When I get the chance I will add that to the instructable. Would you mind?

I don't mind. In fact I would be delighted. Isn't that what Instructables is all about, Sharing? Have a great day. I love this Instructable. I think my kids will really like trying it.
