All the excitement around the landing of the rover Curiosity on Mars made me want to celebrate the possibility of alien life. So today’s project is a “Take Me To Your Leader” banner. Now I’m sure that Curiosity will prove there are no little green men on Mars, but what fun is that?

Alien Life Instructions
1 – Apply Power Glue Stick liberally to one side of your cardstock. Rip off a piece of tin foil slightly larger than your paper and smooth it down over the glue.
2 – Trim the excess tin foil off the cardstock.
3 – Cut 3″ strips of your cardstock, working horizontally.
4 – Cut each 3″ strip in half at a little more than the 4″ mark.
5 – On the cardstock side of your 3″ x 4″ strips, trace a triangle shape. Cut out a triangular notch from each strip.
6 – Add a letter to each piece to spell out “Take Me To Your Leader.”
7 – Punch a hole in each upper corner of your strips.
8 – Tie the strips together with ribbon. I used bright blue and green in 5″ lengths.
Tomorrow: the backdrop and some decorations.
