We are not slow-poking around here on Glued To My Crafts! The crafty fun just keeps coming for the new year!
Today we are sharing another new kid craft tutorial and we hope you LOVE our Paper Plate Sloth as we much as we do!
Sloth Paper Plate Craft
Sloths seem to be making a HUGE impression this year. I’ve seen so much cute merchandise the last few days, at various stores, I just couldn’t help myself and had to join the “trend” as well!
As you probably already know, paper plates have always been a HUGE staple in our tutorials throughout the years. They are pretty much the “craft supply” that BUILT Glued To My Crafts from the ground up.
Paper plates {in all sizes and shapes!} are readily available at many stores and for a pack of 100, you typically only pay around $5 for the bundle. With that price and that amount of paper plates, the possibilities are simply endless {especially with the help of us here at GTMC!}
Anyways – today’s sloth kids craft idea involves taking a plain paper plate, tissue paper and some cardstock paper to bring it to life. That’s it! Plus with the help of us, I’ve even included a free printable for you to take advantage of, making it even more possible for you to tackle it with your child today!
So on that note, although sloths are typically slow – this idea is NOT! It’s super easy and rather fast to recreate. Just cut, paste and admire! Just keep scrolling to see how I pulled together so you can make it happen today as well! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
