Welcome my crafty friends! Today I’m drawing inspiration from one of my favorite sweet treats to have on Valentine’s Day.  This post is titled Paper Plate Milkshake and it’s another easy kid craft to add to the Glued To My Crafts archives! #gluedtomycrafts

Everyone loves a good milkshake every once in awhile but most importantly – everyone LOVES a good craft too!

With just a few simple inexpensive supplies and a little imagination, you too can pull this kid friendly craft together with your child in no time. Once finished, display your work and grab a real milkshake to celebrate. It’s the perfect excuse to spurge a little this time of year!

So what are you waiting for? This craft may not melt away but time is ticking! Grab those supplies and get to work!!! Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Milkshake Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {cut in half to make TWO crafts}
* Pink Tissue Paper
* Purple/Black/Red Cardstock
* School Glue
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* White Cotton Balls

Directions:

* If you haven’t already, cut your paper plate in half. You can either make TWO milkshakes or save one paper plate half for a rainy day!
* Next cut {or tear} your pink tissue paper into small squares.
* Put a good amount of glue all over one paper plate half. Let children place the tissuepaper squares on top, until it’s completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out the other milkshake embellishments. Think drink glass, straw, as well as the heart shaped cherry on top.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Milkshake kid craft, staple/glue on the cardstock pieces to your paper plate. Glue on some cotton ball “whipped cream” as well as any other embellishments you see fit.
* Now set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
