Quick answer
Use the Clever Prints Outer Space Construction Paper pack to create solar system models, space station dioramas, and celestial backdrops. Follow these steps to get the best results with the 60 printed sheets.
Why printed textures matter
Unlike plain construction paper, Clever Prints Outer Space features vibrant printed textures like constellations, planets, nebulas, and northern lights. This means you can skip the markers and paint and still get a detailed, eye-catching project.
The 60-sheet pack gives you enough variety to mix and match textures across multiple crafts. Use the printed side as the main visual and the plain back for writing or drawing details.
Choosing the right texture for your project
Match the printed texture to the part of your craft. For a solar system model, use planet and asteroid sheets for the celestial bodies. For a space station, use constellation and nebula sheets as the backdrop or exterior panels.
If you are making a diorama, the northern lights texture works well as a night-sky background. Save the busiest prints for accents so they do not overwhelm the scene.
Step-by-step craft process
- Plan your project and pick sheets: Decide what you want to make—like a solar system model or space station—and choose the printed sheets that match each part. Lay them out before cutting. Check that you have enough sheets for all parts before you start cutting.
- Cut along the textured edges: Use scissors to cut shapes from the printed side. For curves like planets, cut slowly and rotate the paper instead of the scissors. If you need multiple identical shapes, stack two sheets and cut them together to save time.
- Assemble with glue or tape: Apply glue to the plain back of the paper to keep the printed side clean. For 3D projects, use tape on the inside or hidden edges. Let glue dry completely before adding more layers to avoid smudging the prints.
- Add details with markers or pencils: Use the plain side to write labels, add orbits, or draw extra elements. Keep the printed side as the main visual. Test markers on a scrap piece first to ensure they do not bleed through.
- Display or play with the finished craft: Hang flat projects on the wall or use them as backdrops. For dioramas, place the scene in a box and add small toys or figures. Store leftover sheets flat in a folder to keep them crisp for future projects.
