Painted Paper Plate Garland

Painted Paper Plate Garland

To decorate last week’s craft party we hung a fun garland made from paper plates! A humble paper plate turned into a beautiful piece of art that can quickly center a party in a seriously pretty way. I love the challenge of making something pretty out of an unexpected material.

To make the painted paper plate garland you will need:

  • Paper plates
  • Paint
  • rope to hang the plates
  • Beads for separating them
  • A small hole punch for the center of each plate

1. Start by painting the edges of each plate and allowing it to dry out.

2. Punch a hole through the center of each plate and string onto a rope.

3. Use a small bead to separate each of the plates just enough to be able to see the pretty plate texture.

The painted plates look like flowers! Such a fun way to update an otherwise plain party supply.

PS. Food color painted paper plates.
