How To Make a Paper Plate Beachball
Step 1: Draw Curved Lines
Take your paper plate and lightly draw curved lines from the center to the edge, creating different sections. Think of the sections on a real beach ball. These lines don’t have to be perfect—just have fun with it! Paint your different sections in various colors.
Step 2: Add White Circle
Once your paint is dry, cut out a small white circle from cardstock and glue it all the curved lines meet. This makes your finished beachball look more polished.
Step 3: Add Personality!
Add a pair of googly eyes onto your beach ball. Add some eyelashes if desired, a smile and some pink cardstock cheeks to finish off!
