How to Make a Paper Plate Flower Craft

Step 1: Cut Out the Flower

• Cut across the center of a paper plate, with a half circle in the middle. This is the top of your daisy.
• Put another paper plate on top of the first, with the fronts facing each other.
• Use a pencil to trace the top of the flower on the second plate.
• Then cut it out also.
• Reserve the cut off part of the plate.

Step 2: Paint

• Lay out some newspaper on your work surface.
• Then place the plates on top with the bottoms facing up.
• Use pompoms and q-tips to paint a half yellow circle on the top of the half plates. This is the center of your daisy.
• Then paint the cut off sections of plate green, to be used as the leaves later.

*If you really do not want to get the paint out, use crayons of markers instead to color your flower.

Step 3: Draw the Petals

• Once the paint has dried, use a pencil to draw on the daisy petals.
• Trace over the pencil with black marker.

Step 4: Staple

• Now that the paint has cried, cut 2 leaves out of the painted green plate pieces.
• Sandwich them in place on the bottom of the flower and secure with staples.
• Staple around the rest of the paper plate to form your flower pouch, leaving the top open.

Step 5: Add the Handle

• Punch holes on each side of your flower craft pouch.
• Cut 5 lengths of white yarn, each about a yard long.
• Tie the lengths together using knots at intervals. This will be the handle of your flower pouch.
• Last, lace the ends of the yarn through the holes and secure with knots. Trim away any excess yarn.
