About This Project

A 15–30 minutes craft for ages 6–10, using supplies you likely already have — Hole Punches, Staplers, and Scissors.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Paper Plate Basket

    Add Washi Tape

    Turn the paper plate over. Choose a washi tape and make stripes across the plate, about 1 inch apart. Then go over the plate with washi tape stripes again at a slightly different angle so that a sort of diamond pattern results. You can also place the washi tape randomly in any pattern you like. The fun is in the process and the finished project will still look great.
