PAIR YOUR CAULDRON PAPER PLATE CRAFT WITH —> Stained Glass Witch Cauldron

Craft Supplies:

White Paper Plate – one per cauldron craft {I used a small for ours but large works too}
Black Craft Paint
Foam Paint Brush
Black Cardstock Paper
White Cardstock Paper
Pencil or Pen
Paper Craft Scissors
Black Sharpie Marker
Hand-Held Office Stapler
optional embellishments – Halloween stickers, glitter glue etc.

Directions:

First things first – making your paper plate look like a witch’s cauldron. Simply cut off a small sliver on one side of the paper plate. You just want it flat on one side and it will look more like a bowl shape.
Discard the excess paper plate piece you just cut off.
Next go ahead and paint your paper plate piece completely black.
Set it aside to let it dry completely.
Now grab your all your pieces of cardstock paper, pencil and scissors.
First, out of the black cardstock paper, cut out a “rim” for the witch’s cauldron, as well as TWO legs for the bottom.
Out of the white cardstock, trace your hand with a pencil and trim it out with scissors.
Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on some eyes and mouths on EACH finger to turn them into ghosts.
Finally – the assembling of your witch cauldron. Staple all of your cardstock pieces in place, on the painted paper plate. The ghost handprint will go on the back of the paper plate.
Follow that up with any other embellishments you see fit.
Then display it proudly for all to see!
Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your creation, to share with us on Facebook! #gluedtomycrafts
