Instructions:
Start out by painting the bottom side of the paper plate. Let it dry.
Cut thin strips of tissue paper, crepe paper, or fabric and glue one end on the inside edge of the paper plate. Glue several strips on until you have half of the paper plate covered. Let the glue dry completely.
Next, you will fold the paper plate in half, painted side out. Place a handful of rice, popcorn, or beans inside the folded paper plate and then staple the sides together in several spots so they are sealed tightly.
