IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'LL ART IF I WANT TO! Toilet Paper Cake Slice Sculptures!

This is a BUSY month and even week for me!  We are not only celebrating Valentine's Day but we are also celebrating our anniversary AND MY BIRTHDAY in the SAME WEEKEND!  So I wanted to share a really fun art project that I did for these fun celebrations.  I actually have made a whole paper mache cake for a friend and put all their presents in it.  It was so much fun.  But these sculptures can be just beautiful works of art even if you decide not to give them to someone as a gift.  This is the first time I used ONLY toilet paper with the mache and I LOVE THE realistic cake texture that it creates.  I have seen other art teachers have students make all kinds of toilet paper mache foods with the same beautiful results.

Here is a google slide that i put together with the steps and lesson and the video tutorial that I posted to my channel.  It is really such a FUN and awesome project that could be done with any age level.
