Directions:
Now that you have all your materials ready, it’s time to start crafting. Follow these steps to create a magical wizard hat from a simple paper plate.
- First things first – take your paper plate and cut it in half. Straight up the center to make TWO equal pieces. You only need one half per craft. Either repeat the craft or save one half for a rainy day.
- Now that you have your paper plate piece, squirt some BLUE craft paint on it.
- Use the foam paint brush to paint the paper plate completely.
- Set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
- Now grab your blue cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out a large triangle from the cardstock.
- When the paper plate piece is dry enough to touch, glue the triangle to the back of it.
- To finish off the Paper Plate Wizard Hat craft, add star stickers ALL over the two pieces, to pull the theme together.
- Then display it proudly for ALL to see!
