How to Make the Beach Ball Paper Plate Craft
Step 1: Gather your supplies
Gather your supplies.
Step 2: Divide the plate
Use a pencil and a ruler to divide the paper plate into six equal parts, like a pizza. Make sure to mark lightly so the pencil lines won’t be visible later on.
Step 3: Paint each section
Using the paint sponge or foam brush, paint each section of the paper plate a different color. You can choose traditional beach ball colors like blue, yellow, and white, or get creative with your own color scheme.
Step 4: Trace the lines
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Once the paint is dry, use a marker to trace over the pencil lines that divide the paper plate. This will create the classic beach ball design.
All done!
Your beach ball paper plate craft is now complete! Hang your beach ball up for all to see!
