Every rock star needs his or her own glam guitar, and we’re making our own for VBS. These cardboard guitars are the perfect blank slate for VBS guests to show off their creativity. All types of craft supplies can be used to decorate these guitars; the more glam the better! For this project we used metallic stars and hearts to make the guitars shine. We used yarn for strings and finished with markers to add more color. We even added an autograph or two for a total rock star vibe!
