Paper Plate Winter Wonderland Scene
All you will need is a paper plate, some glue and a few other craft supplies to make your own winter wonderland scene.
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Blue Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Small Loose Craft Glitter
- White Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Orange Sharpie Marker
- Scissors
- School Glue
- Hand-Held Office Stapler
- Large Christmas Tree Stickers
Directions:
- First things first – cut off a small sliver of the paper plate, so the “scene” will be more flat for your decorations. The goal is for the plate to look like a snow globe in the end.
- Next up – paint your paper plate piece completely BLUE with the craft paint & a foam brush. Just squirt a little in the center and go to town!
- While the craft paint is still wet, go ahead and sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top for added sparkle in your winter wonderland.
- When you are done painting, set aside the painted plate to allow it to dry a bit.
- Next up – the handprint snowmen made from paper. Grab your white cardstock, a marker and paper craft scissors.
- Pick a hand and place it in the center of the white cardstock paper.
- Use one of the markers to trace around the hand, on the paper.
- Lift up your hand and trim out the handprint design you just made, with the scissors.
- Discard excess paper.
- Now take the orange and black Sharpie markers and draw on “snowman faces” on each finger of the paper cutout.
- Go ahead and also cut out small hats from the black cardstock paper, that you will adhere to each fingertip.
- Set aside the decorated snowman handprint shape till later.
- Next up – the brown colored cardstock paper. Out of it, cut out a small rectangle that will be the dirt that holds the line of Christmas trees.
- Go ahead and add those stickers on the brown paper piece, you just made.
- Now we are ready to assemble your craft! Grab your painted paper plate, all the paper pieces, school glue and stapler.
- Start off my gluing down the handprint snowmen cutout in the center of the painted plate.
- Finally – to finish off the Winter Wonderland w/Snowmen – Holiday Kid Craft, staple the “line of dirt and trees” on the bottom of the decorated paper plate. This will tie everything together and make your “scene.”
- Add any other embellishments you see fit {like more Christmas stickers and paper cutouts} before you display it proudly for ALL to see!
- Don’t forget to share some pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
