It’s Summer time! Yeah!!  Now if only the warm weather would arrive!  In hopes of warmer weather, we made a paper plate fan craft.  It’s simple and fun.

Supplies:

• 2 Paper Plates
• Construction paper (White and Yellow)
• Wooden dowel or Tongue Depressor
• Pipe Cleaners
• Scissors
• Glue
• Stapler
• Markers/Paint/Crayons

Steps:

1. Decorate bottom of the plates.  This can be done with markers, paint or crayons.
2. Add a little glitter glue for pizaz if you have  it
3. Trace the outline of a Daisy on the white paper and cut out.
4. Trace a circle on the yellow paper and cut it out.
5. Glue yellow circle on white daisy
6. After Paint/Glitter dries, glue on daisies
7. Cover half of Dowel/Tongue depressor with pipe cleaners by wrapping it tightly around it
8. Use liquid glue (glue stick doesn’t work well for this, tried that!) and run it around edge of one plate(top)
9. Then put dowel (undecorated side) on plate
10. Put other plate on top and hold together
11. Put one staple on either side of wood dowel/tongue depressor
