We flew back to Houston early yesterday morning, and Lorelai has been missing all of the non-stop attention she got from my family up there. She was crawling up the walls this afternoon, so I decided to do a craft with her. We’ve missed it, and are way behind on Halloween crafts… Here’s one, Paper Plate Jack-O-Lanterns! Well, these are styrofoam plates, but ‘paper plate’ sounds better, lol.
Materials We Used:
- Styrofoam Plate (paper plate will work too!)
- Orange and Black paint (we used tempera/”craft” paint)
- Scissors
- Cardstock or an extra paper plate (for the stem)
- Paintbrushes
- Glue
Directions: Paint the plate orange, allow to dry for a few minutes, then paint on the face. Cut out a stem out of the cardstock or extra paper plate and paint black, then glue down. Soooo easy and cute!
