Charlie Brown & Snoopy Made From Paper Plates
If you follow me on Instagram – you may already know that I’m a little obsessed with the characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy. This little obsession of mine, pretty much started when I was pregnant with my son and I found this blue stuffed Snoopy at my local Hallmark.
It was love at first site and ever since then, I’ve become just “a tiny bit” obsessed with collecting various things that represent the brand. My son has tons of t-shirts, stuffed animals and even a pair of shoes that show off the Peanuts gang. I even joke with my husband that we should have named our son Charlie {is it too late to change it?!}
Ok – enough chit chat from me. Let’s get to the real reason for this crafty post and why you are here right now. I don’t have any detailed tutorial pictures for these two crafts – but I do hope my instructions & featured pictures give you a good idea on how to pull these together. As usual – this Paper Plate Charlie Brown & Snoopy is super easy, inexpensive and fun for all ages!
So don’t delay – grab your supplies and get to work ASAP!!! Really make me proud and share a picture of your finished paper Snoopy & Charlie Brown creations on my Facebook page or tag me on Instagram for me to see {you seriously would make my day if you did!!!}
