The humble paper plate becomes a bright and colourful sun visor with this quick and easy summer craft.

You Will Need:

  • paper plate
  • markers, pencil crayons, crayons or paint
  • stickers, glitter, sequins, washi tape—whatever you want to use to decorate your visor
  • hole punch
  • elastic (available at dollar stores and fabric stores)
  • pony beads
  • ribbons (optional)

Supplies needed to make the paper plate sun visor.

Instructions:

1. Cut a paper plate into a half moon shape.

2. Use markers, crayons, glitter glue, stickers and washi tape to decorate the bottom of the plate. Make it fun and colourful!

3. Use a hole punch to punch a hole at each point of the half moon shape.

4. Thread a piece of elastic through the holes. The ends of the elastic should stick out on top side of the visor.

5. Slide a bead on to each end of the elastic. Adjust the beads to change the size of the visor until it’s the right size for your head.

6. Tie a knot in each end of the elastic.
