Ingredients
- Paper Plate Strawberry Craft Template
- White cardstock
- Green cardstock
- Paper plate 6"
- Scissors
- Red or pink paint
- Paint brush
- Tacky craft glue
- Yellow buttons
Instructions
- Print the free template and cut out the strawberry body outline. Place it on the back of a paper plate, trace around it with a pencil, and then cut along the line to form your strawberry shape.
- Paint the back of your cut paper plate red or pink. Bright red gives a classic strawberry look, while pink creates a softer version. Set it aside and let it dry completely before moving on.
- Cut out the strawberry leaves from the printed green paper. No painting is needed for this step, making it quick and easy for groups. Once the strawberry is dry, add glue to the back of the leaves and press them onto the top of the strawberry shape, holding briefly to secure them.
- Add the button seeds. Add small dots of glue across the front of the strawberry and press yellow buttons onto each dot. Let dry flat before displaying or hanging.
