?Directions for Paper Plate Barn Craft

Step 1

We started by placing one paper plate on top of the other and cut out the outline of a barn so that both paper plates are shaped the same.

Step 2

With one of the paper plate barn shapes, cut barn doors and loft doors leaving the paper plate material to be able to swing and open like a door on hinges.

Step 3

We used  a balled up paper towel to paint the paper plate with the doors cut into it. This can be used as a sponge painting technique or you can use a paint brush. The paper towel gave then paint an old and wrinkled feel.

Step 4

When the painted plate  had dried, we glued the painted plate to the front of the unpainted plate.  Then add we added the symbols of fall to the red plate and behind the doors so that when you open the doors there is a surprise inside!

    First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t
    mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
    I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how
    to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thank you!
