Dixon Ticonderoga Materials:
- Prang® Medium Weight Construction Paper, 8 assorted colors, 9"x 12", 48 sheets, P104612-0001

Step One
Remove some paper from the Prang medium weight construction paper pad. For best results, open the pad completely and tear each page out slowly.
Step Two
First, select the colors you want to use for the background and table. To create the table, fold the paper to create a crease, then unfold and use the crease as a guide to cut table to size.
Step Three
Decorate table and background papers with markers or crayon.
Step Four
Glue table to background.
Step Five
On another piece of construction paper, draw an oval shape for your plate. Cut out the plate and glue it on top of the table.
Step Six
Create sandwich components with construction paper, using crayons and markers to trace shapes, create texture, and draw details.
Step Seven
Cut out each component. Feel free to add fringe (lettuce), spiral shapes (onion), and folds (shredded cheese) to create 3D effects.
Step Eight
Glue to your project, stacking them up on the plate paper as if you were creating a real sandwich.
