 Paper Plate Tamborine             Project Images  


 
A classic craft that kids always love to make. This works great for a class project. There are so many ways to decorate the plates that you can use this craft for many different holidays, seasons, and other topics.

Supplies

  • 2 Paper plates
  • Craft glue
  • Markers/Paint/Stickers and any other embellishments for decorating
  • Dried beans, dried pasta, or small rocks
  • Construction Paper

Instructions

  1. Color the back side of each paper plate using markers, paints, stickers or other embellishments. Add color bands around the edges of each plate for a colorful touch.
     
  2. Cut 8 pieces of construction paper into 1" x 4" pieces (using two different colors of paper if possible).
     
  3. Fold the pieces of paper back and forth at one inch intervals, accordion style.
     
  4. Turn each plate so the decorated back side is facing down.
     
  5. Put glue on the end of each piece of construction paper and attach to the edge of one of the plate.
     
  6. Continue attaching pieces of construction paper every inch or so, rotating the plate as you go, alternating colors of papers (attach construction paper to only one plate).
     
  7. Wait until dry.
     
  8. Again, turn each plate so the decorated back side is facing down.
     
  9. Put a small handful of dried beans (rocks or dried pasta) into one of the plates.
     
  10. Put glue around the edge of the filled plate.
     
  11. Turn the empty plate over and attach to the other plate. Push together.
     
  12. Let dry.
