Macaroni Craft: Spring Flower Basket

March 22, 2019

Here's what you need:

  • paper plate
  • green paint (or basket color you prefer)
  • construction paper
  • glue
  • scissors
  • craft knife (optional)
  • cut of ribbon (optional)

Adults, with your craft knife or scissors, cut a semicircle in the paper plate as shown in the photo. This will create a "handle" for your basket. Have your child paint the rest of the paper plate. While it is drying, cut out several flowers in different colors. Glue flowers to the inside of the basket "hole" so it looks as though they are sitting inside the basket. Glue one or two to the outside of the basket as if flowers are hanging out of it as well. Let the glue dry and tie a ribbon around the basket handle.
