Materials

• 2 pieces of paper

• Pencil

• Sharpie

• Colored markers

• Scissors

Steps

• Take a piece of paper and fold it in half, holding it in landscape mode

• Neatly draw the desired name in pencil using cursive, keeping the spacing large

• Use a sharpie to trace over the name

• Then, after tracing over the name, fold the paper back over the name so that there is an additional blank half of paper covering the traced name.

• Once the paper is covering the name, trace over the name again on the blank side, using a sharpie.

• Open up the paper once again and trace the second name again, this time on the backside so that the original name is mirroring itself.

• Turn the paper in various ways to decide on which way is more desirable for the alien look.

• Begin to color in the name and space inside of letters to give it the appearance of an alien.

• Then once the alien is finalized, carefully cut it out and open it up.

• Finally, glue the alien onto the second piece of construction paper.
