3. Make a small orange triangle out of colored paper for the beak. Glue all the pieces to the center of one of the plates on the convex side.

This craft can be used as a toy for a child or to decorate a children's room, hallway or living room with it.

Plate snake

This is one of the simplest and most unusual disposable tableware crafts. You only need one round plate, and the larger it is, the longer the snake's tail will be.

Draw a spiral with a simple pencil, starting from the edge and gradually approaching the center. The tip should be thinner, and the central part - in the form of a circle, wider - it will be the head of the snake. Using scissors, carefully cut the plate along the marked line to make one large piece without unnecessary cut off pieces. Paint the snake with bright paint or glue with colored paper.

Make the eyes from round parts of black and white, forming a white and a pupil, and stick it on the head. Cut a long tongue out of a red or pink sheet of paper with bifurcated ends and glue it at the edge of the front of your head.

Flower basket

Prepare two disposable plates, cut one in half. Glue this half and the second whole plate together along the contour so that the protruding part remains outside.

Decorate the craft with additional elements, paint or glue its surface with colored paper. Make beautiful flowers out of multi-colored sheets of cardboard or paper, cut and glue them to the top half of the craft so that they look like they look out of a basket, or make flowers out of paper and insert inside.
