How to Make This Yeti Paper Plate Craft
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather all of your supplies.
Step 2: Paint the Paper Plate
Paint the inside circle of the paper plate with light blue acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
Step 3: Trace the Yeti Patterns
Download and print the yeti patterns, then cut out with scissors. Trace the nose once and the horns twice onto bright blue cardstock. Cut small triangles from white cardstock for teeth.
Cut six strips of light blue cardstock as an accent for the horns. You could also use colored craft foam, construction paper, or craft felt for this project.
Step 4: Cut Out and Assemble the Horns
Cut out the yeti patterns with scissors making sure to cut inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project.
Attach the strips of light blue cardstock to the horns with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim any excess cardstock with scissors.
Step 5: Add the Cotton Ball Fur
Attach a row of cotton balls to the edge of the paper plate with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Step 6: Draw the Face and Add the Nose
Using a black marker, draw a crooked smile, and outline the yeti’s nose. Glue the nose to the center of the yeti’s face. TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
Step 7: Attach the Horns and Eyes
Attach the horns to the top right and left with a glue gun and glue sticks. Then glue two wiggle eyes above the nose.
Step 8: Draw the Teeth
To finish, draw teeth on the yeti’s mouth with a white paint pen. You can also glue white cardstock teeth to the mouth.
All done!
Hang your finished yeti on display!
