How to make a Mickey Mouse dressed as Santa Claus using paper plates.
Yield: 1Santa
Materials
Three Paper Plates
Black and Red Paint
RedBlack, Yellow, and White Construction Paper
Cotton Balls
Scissors
Glue
Instructions
Cut the centers out of two paper plates.
On a third plate, paint the bottom half red and the top half black. Paint the two plate centers black as well. Allow to dry.
Glue the two smaller black circles to the back of the plate, on the black half, for Mickey’s ears.
While the glue dries, cut out one long black rectangle, one yellow square that fits over the black rectangle, the hat shape out of red (make it small enough to just fit between the ears), a long white rectangle the length of the bottom of the hat, and a small white circle.
Glue the black rectangle over the divide on the plate and the yellow square to the center of the black rectangle.
Glue the white rectangle to the front of the plate, between the ears. Glue the hat to the white rectangle and the circle to the point of the hat.
Glue cotton balls to the white parts.
Notes
The paint job doesn’t have to be perfect where the two colors meet. The belt will cover this section.
You can glue the hat directly to the ears for extra stability.
