Paper Plate Christmas Car


Paper Plate Christmas Car w/Footprint Tree - Kid Craft Idea

Paper Plate Holiday Car Craft w/Footprint Tree On Top

Inspired by our Christmas Tree Keepsake and our original paper plate car tutorial, that’s how our latest Paper Plate Christmas Car tutorial came to life in my head! It’s honestly like they both came together and made a baby for the holidays – LOL! But in all seriousness, it’s just another crafty idea for the kids that love cars and trucks but with a Christmas theme!

This unique and first seen here idea is a bit more crafty for kids than the mentioned link above but still doubles as an awesome keepsake and decor piece {who can resist a cute footprint craft idea?!}

Super simple to make and gender neutral as well! So check out the full paper plate Christmas car with footprint tree on top tutorial below and get ready for a crafty holiday season!

Happy crafting my friends!!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your paper plate holiday cars on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Christmas Car - Kid Craft

Paper Plate Christmas Car

This paper plate car with a footprint tree on top is the perfect craft for kids! It’s so easy to make and super cheap too, just what you need when crafting with children.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate – one plate makes TWO cars
  • Red Craft Paint {or your favorite colors!}
  • Green Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brushes
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • School Glue
  • Kid Friendly Paper Craft Scissors
  • Hand-Held Office Stapler
  • Embellishments such as glitter glue, rhinestones stickers etc.

Directions:

  • First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center into two equal pieces.
  • Reserve one half for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day!
  • At this point in time, go ahead and cut out a small section on the paper plate {see my picture for example} to give that more distinct car look.
  • Now have children paint their paper plate half completely red. Set aside.
  • When they are done with that, go ahead and paint your child’s foot, to press on white cardstock.
  • Trim out the painted footprint on the paper, with scissors.
  • Add embellishments to really give it that Christmas-y look.
  • Set aside.
  • Now grab your remaining cardstock and trim out wheels & a simple rectangular window for your car.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Christmas Car kid craft – simply staple the finished cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate.
  • Have children add other embellishments to really make it their own!
  • Then display proudly!
