Viewer Suggestion: instead of a paper plate, trace a
plate onto a piece of cardboard or poster board and use that as the
center of the project.

Instructions:
 | Paint the "bottom" of your paper plate: your paper plate
has the side you'd eat from and the side you'd place on the table -- the
bottom is the side you'd place on the table
 | use colors to represent the flower you're making |
 | use sponges to dab on complimentary colors and give texture to
your flower |
 | use a marker or darker color of paint to outline some petals on
the plate |
|
|
 |
OR:
 | paint your plate a base color (green is nice!),
 | let dry and |
 | cut construction paper petals and glue them in circles around
the plate
