Help me give my students protection of the final sculpture (identity tapestry) that they will be creating as a community. The Mod-Podge will seal the questions onto the pegs.

My Students
My artists are creative, funny, and full of energy. I teach in a district where the community is recovering from recession, and not everyone has found their feet yet. This does not mean that their spirit, pride, and momentum is slowing, however. In fact, my students know what they want and how they can accomplish it.
Not all days are good days, but all days have good in them.
When they have teachers and the community around them cheering them on, students know they can achieve anything.
My Project
This piece of plexi-glass will protect an identity tapestry the whole school will be participating in. They have constructed pegs that stick out of a piece of plywood with different 'identity' questions on them in many languages, and they will be wrapping yarn around the pegs that they identify with. In the end, it will create a unique 'tapestry' that reflects every child in our school. We want to display this artwork in a prominent place, and therefore would like to keep it protected while it is being displayed. This will be an ongoing project that we will be re-doing the 'connections' every year with all new students involved.
