Paper Plate Handbag Craft For Valentine’s Day

My Pink and Purple loving princesses really enjoyed this craft! In the words of my five-year-old: ” Finally!, now I have my own handbag!”. 😊😊 They also made little cards for everyone else at home using construction paper and tucked it inside.

Craft Supplies:

Paper plates
Hole Punch
Glue
Scissors
Small hearts
Plastic string (You can also use Yarn)
Beads (Optional)
Sheer Ribbons (Optional)

Steps:

Line up two plates facing each other. Press together and cut an opening to the top.
Still holding plates facing together, punch holes around the edges. Note: If you want to have string ends for the handles ending off on the same side, make sure to punch an even number of holes.
Thread plate. Decorate with hearts as desired.
Optional: If you wish to add some fine motor skill practice for the little ones, or just to spunk things up, add some beads to the strings before knotting.
Optional: Staple on some sheer ribbon to the opening edges if you want to give a more finished look. Thread the ends through the top opposite holes on either side and tie to secure.
Done!
