How do you make a paper plate sunflower?
Instructions:
- paint the top of the paper plate yellow and let dry
- trace hands onto the yellow paper. I was able to get 2 hands traced on 1 piece of paper
- spread some glue onto the middle part of the plate
- pour a bunch of sunflower seeds onto the glue and spread them out
- next, place the cut-out handprints into a circle – fingers outward
- add some glue to the palms of the handprints
- place the plate into the middle of the palms so the fingers are pointing outward from the plate
- let dry
- If you want to – add a cute straw and a paper leaf to embellish your sweet sunflower even more
Hang and enjoy
