How to Make a Cute Spring Paper Plate Craft

To make the spring paper plate flower garden craft, you’ll need a few supplies.

Supplies:

• Paper plate
• Colorful craft paper
• Pencil
• Black marker pen
• Scissors
• Glue
• Flower Garden Template

Instructions for the Paper Plate Garden

Step 1: Measure the size of the paper plate’s inner circle.

• Cut the grass and the sky out of the colorful craft paper according to the size of your paper plate. They need to go all the way across the diameter of the plate.
• Cut out a half-circle shape in the blue craft paper for the sky.
• Cut another half-circle of the green shade of craft paper.
• Then cut out the rest of the grasses from two different shades of green paper. These last two pieces will have spikes on the top and they will be slightly shorter than the first layer of grass.

Step 2: Glue the blue piece inside the plate to make the sky.

Step 3: Glue the larger green craft paper on the bottom to create the first layer of grass.

Step 4: Glue the rest of the green papers one over another to create a layered grass look.

Step 5: Now, use the template to cut out the pieces for the flowers.

Step 6: Glue the larger petals first, then add the smaller petals on top of those.

Step 7: Then glue the brown circle to the middle of the flower.

Step 8: Cut out the stem and the leaf for the flower from the template.

Step 9: Glue the stem on the flower.

Step 10: Finish off the flower by gluing the leaf to the stem.

Step 11: Cut out the insects for the garden using the templates, then arrange the flowers and insects inside the paper plate.
