How to Make a Witch Moon Paper Plate Craft
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies including a paper plate, paint, and black construction paper.
Step 2: Draw the Moon Line
Draw a curved line across the paper plate to mark where the moon will meet the night sky.
Step 3: Paint the Moon
Paint one half of the plate bright yellow for the moon and let it dry.
Step 4: Paint the Night Sky
Paint the other half dark blue to create the night sky.
Step 5: Trace the Witch
Use the witch template to trace a witch silhouette on black construction paper.
Step 6: Cut Out the Witch
Cut out the witch shape carefully with scissors.
Step 7: Add Foam Tape
Attach small pieces of foam tape to the back of the witch to give it a raised 3D look (optional). If you don’t want to use foam tape then just use glue.
Step 8: Attach the Witch
Once the paint is dry, press the witch shape onto the center of the moon and sky.
Step 9: Add the Stars
Dip the handle of your paintbrush into yellow paint and add small dots to the blue side to look like stars.
All done!
Let everything dry completely, then hang up your spooky flying witch moon craft for Halloween!
