Making a Child's Paper Plate Shoulder Bag

Supplies:

• 1 deep paper plate or bowl
• glue
• ribbon and embellishments of your choice
• scissors
• paints, crayons, or felt tips to colour with
• hole punch

 

 

 

 

Steps:

1. Cut your plate in half.

 
2. Straighten out any curvature at the edges to make sticking easier.

 
3. Apply glue and stick the 2 halves together.

 

 
4. Don't worry if you didn't cut it exactly in half because you can now trim off any excess.

Very cute! I saw a version of this with staples, but this version is much safer. Lucky little girl who gets this one!
