Easy Spiral Decorations

These Easy Spiral Decorations are a simple way to make your own fun homemade party decorations; all you need is paint and a paper plate! You can make these in any color to suit your party theme!

Ages: 4 and Up

Here's what you'll need...

• Paper plate (any size will do but smaller is better)
• Paint and brush
• Scissors
• String

Here's how you make it...

1. Paint the bottom of paper plate (Why? Because the top or "eating side" of paper plates usually has a waxing coating that does not take paint well.) Start at the outer edge and cut around and around and around.

2. Punch or cut a hole in the outside end of the spiral and attach a string to hang. (If you put a hole on the inside end the painted side will not show as much when you hang them up high.)
