No clowning around today – we are adding ANOTHER kid craft to the paper plate archives!!!

If you’ve been a LONG time of follower of mine, you probably know by now that paper plates are my favorite craft supply when it comes to kid crafts. They are really inexpensive, readily available AND just an overall great starting point when it comes to crafting with kids.

With today’s Paper Plate Clown tutorial, you are sure to have a great time AND have a beautiful piece to show off with your child afterwards. Make it today {or any day of the year} just get up and DO IT! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* White Tissue Paper
* Cardstock {we used purple/red}
* Various sizes and colors of pom poms
* Wiggle Eyes
* Stapler
* Scissors
* School Glue

Directions:

* First cut your white tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills} Set aside.
* Next take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over it. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered. This is the clown’s face mask.
* While they are working on that, cut out the other clown features from the cardstock {hat, big red mouth etc}
* To finish off the Paper Plate Clown Kid Craft – staple/glue on the cardstock pieces in their designated spots and finish off with a line of pom-pom hair for the clown on the top. At this point, you can add other embellishments you see fit to give your clown that one-of-a-kind look! Then display proudly!
