Cut the milk jug into sharp petal shapes (as like in picture), and glue the petals over the side edges of the  paper plate and ice-cream cup. It should be noted that, glue the petals after the holes, not on over the holes.
Paint the plates and decorate with glitters or confetti.

Bead flowers and Pumpkin seed flowers:

For making bead flower, take a large-sized round bead and glue the small beads over its sides like a flower.
For making pumpkin seed flower, take a large-sized round bead and glue the pumpkin seeds  over its sides like a flower (see the picture).

Flower hangings:

For making hangings for the large plate, join bead flowers and beads using woolen thread as show in picture, or make hanging with your own idea.


For making hangings for the small plate and the center, using woolen thread of approximate length, join pumpkin seed flowers, straws and beads as like I did, or make them of your own choice.


Finally insert the each hangings in each holes and tie up with the hangings of the second next.
The hangings of large plate should be smaller than that of the small plate, and the hangings of small plate should be smaller than the center hanging.
That's all... A beautiful paper plate hanging craft is ready to hang now. This craft is easy to make and definitely, this will be an added beauty to our home.
I hanged this craft at the center of the hall and it looks very beautiful.

Floral wall craft with paper plates and milk jug!

MATERIALS USED

Paper plates - 3

Empty milk jug or any other plastic can

Cardboard (I used pizza tray cardboard - round shaped)

Paints

Glue gun

Scissor

 

METHOD

First draw a round (size of a tumbler) at the center of the paper plate and cut the sides like a flower with thin sharp-edged petals. Do the same for all three plates.
Click here to visit my tutorial video!

For a thick paper plate, we can open each petals into two layers. the upper layer is a normal paper which bends to give a "bud" shape.

Then glue the plates one over another, and paint with your favorite color.

Flower part is over. Now, for the decoration part, paint the cardboard with a suitable background color.

Then, cut the milk jug into many small leaves and glue the leaves over the whole sides of the cardboard. Paint the leaves with simple green or with the colors of a peacock feather (as like in fig). If want, decorate with color stones and glitter (optional).

Finally, glue the flower at the center of the cardboard.

That's all... A beautiful floral wall craft is ready to hang. We can use push pins or double tape to hang the craft on wall.

Paper plate tree craft!

I just thought to make a different craft, so I decided to make a paper tree. With a blind idea, I started making this craft. After completing this, I saw it look really beautiful...!

MATERIALS USED

Big paper plates - 5

Small ice-cream plate - 1

Tissue paper holder

Paints

Glue, glue-gun

Glitter

 

 

DESCRIPTION

First, cut the paper plates in flower shape, as show in figure, with 5 different sizes from larger to smaller. Keep the unwanted pieces cut from the plates separately.


Cut the tissue holder with appropriate length to make the stem part. Fold the lengthy-leaves of the plates towards the inner side. For making the lower part of the tree, fix the tissue holder at the center of the larger-leafed plate (as like in figure) with hot glue gun. Fix the other end of the tissue holder on to the center of the ice-cream plate.


Repeat the same for fixing all the plates, one by one from lower to higher (larger to smaller) with tissue holder in between.

For making the top part of the tree, cut the unwanted pieces into long-thin leaves, and stick them around a tissue holder (app 10 cm length) from bottom to top, covering all the sides. Fix this leaf-covered tissue holder at the center of the topmost smaller plate using glue gun.

Now, tree-making is over. Paint the tree with the suitable colors of your choice and if want, apply glue over the leaves and sprinkle glitters and confetti.

That's all... Our tree craft is done. This is very easy to make, cut the plates, fix with tissue holder one by one, and finally paint the leaves.

Hope you like this craft. Try this craft at your home and comment your feedbacks. Thank you...!!!
