    Make Paper Plate Flower Pouch

    Your creative buddy says:
    "Are you as excited to make this as I am?"

    Step 1: Cut Out the Flower

    Ask an adult to help you with the scissors. Cut across the center of a paper plate, making a half circle in the middle. This will be the top of your daisy. Put another paper plate on top of the first, with the fronts facing each other. Use a pencil to trace the top of the flower on the second plate. Then cut it out also. Save the cut off part of the plate.

    Step 2: Paint

    May need grown-up help
    Lay out some newspaper on your work surface. Then place the plates on top with the bottoms facing up. Use a paintbrush or pompoms and q-tips to paint a half yellow circle on the top of the half plates. This will be the center of your daisy. Then paint the cut off sections of plate green. You'll make them into the leaves later. If you don't want to get the paint out, use crayons or markers instead to color your flower.

    Step 3: Draw the Petals

    Once the paint has dried, use a pencil to draw on the daisy petals. Trace over the pencil with black marker.

    Step 4: Staple

    May need grown-up help
    When the paint has dried, cut 2 leaves out of the painted green plate pieces. Sandwich them in place on the bottom of the flower and secure with staples. Ask an adult to help you with the stapler if needed. Staple around the rest of the paper plate to form your flower pouch, leaving the top open.

    Step 5: Add the Handle

    Punch holes on each side of your flower craft pouch. Cut 5 lengths of white yarn, each about a yard long. Tie the lengths together using knots at intervals. This will be the handle of your flower pouch. Last, lace the ends of the yarn through the holes and secure with knots. Trim away any extra yarn.

    Step 6: Design your own flower

    Now that you know the basic steps, try designing your own flowers.

    Step 7: Design your own flower

    What kind of designs can you come up with?
