Instructions

Paper Plate Mrs. Claus

  • Paint your paper plate with skin-colored paint and let it dry.
  • Cut out your hair template and accessories.
  • Glue them to the head and bottom of the plate for part of her "dress."
  • To make glasses, put 1 black pipe cleaner in half and form each piece into a circle. Glue them to the paper plate with a small space between them. Glue a small black piece in between to go over the nose and some to the sides to connect to her ears.
  • Add a red pom pom to either side of her head as earrings directly below the glasses.
  • Glue on googly eyes in the glasses and add small eyelashes.
  • Add a red nose, pink button cheeks, and a smile.
  • Then, add holly leaves and ribbon near the bun of her hair.

Paper Plate Santa

  • Paint your paper plate with skin-colored paint and let it dry.
  • Add a large red hat with a cotton ball brim around the edge. Glue a cotton ball to the top as well. Use a piece of red construction paper to create the hat. Just cut a simple triangle from the paper.
  • Glue holly berry leaves and red pom poms beneath to look like holly berries.
  • Add googly eyes and a red nose.
  • Draw on a smirk and then glue on pom poms around the bottom half of his face. These will be Santa's beard.
