Follow the full step-by-step tutorial below to see what I’m talking about! Happy crafting this autumn season, my crafty friends!! Please don’t forget to FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK so you never miss a new tutorial from  us! XOXO

PAIR YOUR PAPER PLATE INDIAN CORN CRAFT WITH —> Popsicle Stick Button Indian Corn – Kid Craft

Indian Corn Craft Supplies:

* Paper Plates – one per Indian corn craft {small or large – I used large}
* Color Cardstock {preferably tan and/or brown}
* Tulip Puffy Paint {or any craft paint in a squirt bottle in fall colors}
* Paper Scissors
* Hand-Held Stapler
* Baby Wipes
* Large Wiggle Eyes – two per Indian corn craft
* School Glue
optional materials – loose craft glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
* First fold your paper plate in half {one per Indian corn that you want to make.}
* Unfold and squirt some fall colored paint on one side of the paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down.
* Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate together again to create a marble look. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
* Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your design inside. Set aside to let it dry a bit.
* If you like  {before it dries} you can also add glitter on top of the wet paint for an even more fun look!
* Next, using scissors, trim down your paper plate to give a more “corn shape” look. Just remember to not cut off TOO much – just a little off two sides to make a rectangle!
* To finish the Paper Plate Splat Indian Corn – cut/staple some corn husk cardstock pieces to the paper plate {also add facial embellishments with wiggle eyes if you like!}
