Create the outer layer of the paper plate flower
Get one paper plate and fold it in half.
Cut along the dashed line to create a smaller circle then unfold.
Snip some small triangles to make the petals of the paper plate. Follow along the dashed line as illustrated above.
The first bottom layer of the paper flower is done. Next is to make the top layer!
Cutout the inner layer of the paper plate flower
Grab another paper plate and fold it in half.
Cut along the dashed line as illustrated in the sample image above.
Unfold the paper plate and set aside the leftover cutout. Do not discard the leftover because we will recycle them to make the leaves.
Again, snip some small triangles to make the petals of the paper plate. Follow along the dashed line as illustrated above.
The top layer of the paper plate flower is done! Set it aside for now.
Cut some leaves
Keep the leftover cutout folded in half. Now cut along the dashed line as illustrated above.
Once cut, unfold it so that they look like this. These diamond-shaped cutouts will be the leaves of the paper plate flower.
Paint the outer flower with light pink
Paint the bigger flower paper plate with pink by mixing red and white.
For this project, we chose a pink and red color combination for the flower craft but you can choose any color you like.
Once painted, set it aside to dry.
Color the inner flower red
Grab the smaller paper plate flower and paint it red.
You may choose a different color that you like.
Once painted, set it aside to dry.
Assemble the flower
Place the smaller flower on top of the bigger flower.
Stick them together using glue.
Stick some sequins at the center
To make the flower extra pretty, stick some sequins at the center.
The sequins will be the pistil of the flower.
Besides sequins. you may paste other materials such as beads, seeds or use some glitter or markers to decorate the flower.
Make the stem and leaves
Grab a wooden popsicle stick and the leaf cutouts and paint them green.
Let it dry for a bit and flip them over.
Glue the leaves to the back of the popsicle stick.
Once you have assembled them, flip the stem over.
The plant stem with leaves is now done!
Connect the flower and stem with glue
Get the paper plate flower and stick it on top of the green stem
The paper plate flower is done. A great idea would be to create several differently colored flowers and stick them to a pot!
