New to the Best Makes Ever! Series?

The Best Makes Ever Series, is a series of art and crafty videos, that Art Crafty Kids and I produced for Sky Kids UK back in 2020-2022. They were designed to bring delightful arts and crafts projects to kids – using every day materials/ limited resources. Enabling everyone to join in and have fun! Now, 5yrs on, we are (slowly) able to share these lovely arts and crafts projects with you on our websites too! So, DO explore our Best Makes Ever Series tab for more info..

To make our Paper Plate Frankenstein Purse, you will need:

All you need to make your this cute Halloween paper plate craft, is –

  • white paper plate per Frankenstein Purse
  • green paint
  • black construction paper scraps
  • white construction paper scraps
  • ribbon/ string
  • staplers or glue
  • glue stick
  • black marker
  • scissors

It is easy to switch out your materials to suit the supplies and time you have. For example, you could use some green paper plates, if you don’t feel like getting the paints out with your charges (but I find toddlers and preschoolers do LOVE to paint… so do give it a go).

Similarly, you could use black felt instead of paper. Or paint the back of a cereal box black and cut that up instead. OR you could paint on Frankstein’s facial features.

The ribbons I used where actually recycled from paper bags you get in some of the department stores.

So as per usual: work with what you have!!! Have a much fun as you can creating your own details. No need to go out and make unnecessary purchases.
