* First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center into two equal pieces.
* Set one piece aside and grab the other.
* Following along the rim of the paper plate, cut out a neck/head for your flamingo. Use my picture as an example. Discard the inner paper plate pieces that aren’t part of the head/neck.

* Paint your paper plate pieces completely pink.
* Set aside to allow it to dry completely.
