How to Make a Paper Plate Monster
To make the paper plate monster, first cut the center out of paper plates.
Paint the ring whatever color you want.
While the paint dries, cut out shapes for the monster like hornets, spikes, teeth, spots or whatever else you think of! If your children are old enough, this is a great step for them to have artistic freedom.
Once the paint is dry on the paper plate, glue on googly eyes, teeth, spikes or whatever else to make your monster unique.
How to Make a Paper Plate Halloween Mummy
To make the paper plate mummy, start by painting the back of the small paper played with neon paint or any bright color paint.
Cut three strips of paper streamer or bandage for each mummy craft and glue them on in different directions as shown. If you don’t have streamers or bandage material, you can also use strips of toilet paper for this part.
Glue the googly eyes on top of the bandages to make the mummy’s face.
Display these Halloween paper plate monsters as cute Halloween decor for years to come. Don’t forget to write your artist’s name on the back, along with the year.
