Ancient Jug

Posted 2013-12-06 by Bastion Harrison ⇒ follow
This is something I learnt to do when I was at school, while studying the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is just as good an activity now as it was then. Make your own ancient jug out of a milk carton to use decoratively.

Time: 1 hour, plus drying time
Age: 5-10's
Level: Easy

Materials



  • 2 pint milk carton
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Newspaper
  • Orange paint

    • Method



  • Using scissors, pierce the milk carton at the top of the handle.



  • Cut off the lid section to create a slanted opening.



  • Turn the lid section upside dow, and place inside the opening so that it forms the lip of the jug. Glue this in place.



  • Cut strips of newspaper, and glue onto the carton. You should glue on about three layers of newspaper, leaving each layer to dry between turns.



  • Paint the cartoon so that it is a orange/terracotta colour, like that of a flower pot.
