make a paper palm

I remember making these with my mom out of the colored funnies.

Gather supplies--paper (I used a financial prospectus), tape, and a good scissors BUT NOT THE GOOD SCISSORS.

Lay out the paper, overlapping by about an inch. Tape the junctures in two places.

Roll up the paper into a tube a bit smaller than a toilet paper tube. Tape about 4 inches from the bottom.

On the top end make four cuts in the cardinal directions, about 6 inches long.

Reach into the center and tug on a few pieces of the paper.

Pull out the palm. You can staple the base about 4 inches from the bottom for some stability.
You now have a paper palm to march around with on Palm Sunday!
