Paper Plate Jack-O'-Lantern

You can make these pumpkins to decorate your house for Halloween.  They are easy and fun for kids to help with.


What you'll need:
  • Mini paper plate 
  • Orange acrylic craft paint
  • Yellow craft foam
  • Green craft foam
  • Brown craft foam
  • Scissors
  • Glue

 How to make it:


1. Place the paper plate upside down on your work surface and paint it orange. Set aside to dry and repeat with a second coat if needed.


2. Cut out facial shapes (triangles for eyes and a mouth with a few missing teeth) and glue to the plate.


3. Use scissors to trim the plate into a pumpkin-like shape. Do this by cutting a dip in the top where the stem would be and trim the bottom to flatten it a bit.


4. Cut two simple oval-shaped leaves from green craft foam and glue to back of the plate at the top of the pumpkin.


5. Cut a simple rectangular stem from brown craft foam and glue to the back of the plate, between the leaves.
