DIY Paper Plates Crafts

-




Hey Everyone,

Hope you all are doing amazing today. Today’s blog is a blast from my past. Using paper plates to make these really adorable wall hangings. I still remember how much I enjoyed learning this DIY craft at school. It is an easy DIY craft. Easy to make, easy to purchase and easy to use. You can paint this in so many ways. Your children would love this DIY craft. And if you yourself are making it, you can also enjoy it and use it efficiently for decorating your classroom/ or DIY craft room for that matter.




The things that you need for this DIY craft are:


* Paper plates. In any shape and size. Need a pair of two each if      you want to make something different
* Paints
* Brushes
* Crepe paper
* Thread
* The basics (glue, basic stationary, scissors)
* Stapler
* Punching machine



Step 1:


Take two plates of the same size. Cut one of the plates in halves. Make sure you cut it from the center as this part of the plate would be acting as the holder for things if you are hanging it on a wall.


Step 2:


Paint it away. Paint these plates as you like. You can design it the way you like it. You can make it look like a real vase as well. So choose the colors wisely.


Step 3:


Once the paint has dried. Keep one paper plate flat on the table, and put one half of the other plate upside down on this plate. Make sure the edges are aligned perfectly. Now you should staple the edges or glue them with a strong glue so that the paper plates wall hanging does not fall open if anything is kept inside. In my opinion, you should use both, the glue and a stapler to ensure that the edges don’t open.

Step 4:


Use a punching machine to punch holes at the upper end of the single plate which is open and not covered with a second paper plate. You can punch two holes to maintain balance.

Step 5:


Use a thick thread, which is also strong to hold the paper plates with a few things in it hanging on the wall. The thread could be braided, or twisted, to add a little more arty look to the whole craft.



Tip: Don’t use this wall hanging to hold heavy things. You can use this to organize some pencils or even car keys. You can even use it as a wall hanging vase which can carry a few flowers for decoration purpose in pretty much any room.
