SECOND ANNUAL

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS SHOE BOX ALTAR PROJECT 2022

In celebration of Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) many build Altares (Altars) in honor of their loved ones who have passed away.

An altar is a space used to place all the wonderful things that remind us of those loved ones who have passed. It can consist of pictures, candles, flowers, foods they enjoyed, rosaries, and crosses.

When creating an altar, these items are considered “ofrendas” (offerings/gifts). Students will be creating a shoebox altar for a loved one that has passed away in their family. We are keeping in mind that, the main purpose for this project is for students to get to know a family member that they never met, and/or to honor a loved one that they were fortunate to interact with.

Remember, there is no wrong way and this is your personal memory--your personal gift--to your loved one. Just make it authentically from your heart! Please have completed project submitted to be displayed by October 31, 2022. Drop off location will be the Holbrook cafeteria.

Step 1

Paint a shoebox in colors often seen in Dia de los Muertos altars, such as rich purples, pinks, reds, and orange-yellow colors. Cover the inside as well as the outside of the shoebox, then allow it to dry for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Turn the box on its side so it stands tall lengthwise. Trace an arch on any color construction paper and cut it out. Attach it to what is now the top front of your box with glue or tape.

Step 3

Place a photo of a deceased loved one you are honoring in the center of the box. Fill the box with items that remind you of the person, such as CDs by the person's favorite band, copied pages from favorite books, and favorite knickknacks. Step 4

Fill the remaining spaces in the box and surround the box with candles, marigolds, perforated paper, and small glasses of water. These items represent the four elements, fire, earth, wind, and water, all of which are traditionally represented in Dia de los Muertos altars.

To make your own Day of the Dead Shoebox Altar you need:

–Shoe-box of any size

–Paper or wrapping paper to cover your box or paint

–Pictures of passed loved ones

–Items loved ones enjoyed -remember anything counts as an offering –Candle (LED please)

–Tissue for flowers- optional, but flowers play a big part

in the decor of an altar.

You can also use fake flowers.

PROYECTO 2022 ANUAL

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS: MAQUETA DE UN ALTAR en una caja de zapatos

Para celebrar el Día de los Muertos, muchos construyen Altares (Altares) en honor a sus seres queridos que han fallecido.

Un altar es un espacio utilizado para colocar todas las cosas maravillosas que nos recuerdan a aquellos seres queridos que han fallecido. Puede consistir en imágenes, velas, flores, comidas que disfrutaron, rosarios y cruces.

Al crear un altar, estos elementos se consideran "ofrendas" (ofrendas / regalos). Los estudiantes crearán un altar de caja de zapatos para un ser querido que falleció en su familia. Tenemos en cuenta que el propósito principal de este proyecto es que los estudiantes conozcan a un miembro de la familia que nunca conocieron y / o honrar a un ser querido con el que tuvieron la suerte de interactuar.

Recuerde, no hay forma incorrecta y este es su recuerdo personal, su regalo personal, para su ser querido. ¡Hágalo auténticamente desde su corazón!

Por favor, envíe el proyecto completo para que se muestre antes del 31 de octubre de 2022. El lugar de entrega será la cafetería de Holbrook.

Paso 1

Pinta una caja de zapatos en colores que se ven a menudo en los altares del Día de los Muertos, como púrpuras intensos, rosas, rojos y colores amarillo anaranjado. Cubre el interior y el exterior de la caja de zapatos, luego deja que se seque durante unos 30 minutos.

Paso 2

Gire la caja de lado para que quede alta a lo largo. Trace un arco en cualquier papel de construcción de color y recórtelo. Adjúntelo a lo que ahora es el frente superior de su caja con pegamento o cinta adhesiva.

Paso 3

Coloque una foto de un ser querido fallecido al que esté honrando en el centro de la caja. Llene la caja con elementos que le recuerden a la persona, como CD de la banda favorita de la persona, páginas copiadas de sus libros favoritos y chucherías favoritas.

Paso 4

Llene los espacios restantes en la caja y rodee la caja con velas, caléndulas, papel perforado y vasos pequeños de agua. Estos elementos representan los cuatro elementos, fuego, tierra, viento y agua, todos los cuales están tradicionalmente representados en los altares del Día de los Muertos.

Para hacer tu propio Altar de caja de zapatos del Día de los Muertos necesitas: –Caja de zapatos de cualquier tamaño

–Papel o papel de regalo para cubrir su caja o pintura

–Fotografías de seres queridos fallecidos

–Artículos que los seres queridos disfrutaron

-recuerde que cualquier cosa cuenta como una ofrenda

–Vela (LED por favor)

–Papel para flores- opcional, pero las flores juegan un papel importante en la decoración de un altar.

También puedes usar flores falsas.
