These THREADED PAPER PLATE FLOWERS are lovely to make in spring, summer or as a Mother’s Day craft. They are really easy to create and can be made in any combination of colours you can think of. They’ll all look super cute!
The colourful paper plate flower heads sit on a cardstock stem with a big leaf. The stem and leaf can even be written on if you want to use this as a Valentine’s Day craft or Mother’s Day craft with a personalised message.
This is a lovely paper plate flower craft for kids of all ages and abilities as you can make it more or less easy by varying the number of lacing holes around the rim. Paper plate threading is such an easy and fun way to introduce kids to sewing and to develop their fine motor skills.

How To Make Threaded Paper Plate Flowers
1 – Use the hole punch to make threading holes all around the outside of the coloured paper plate. (You can make it easier or harder by adding less or more holes.)
2 – Cut a length of yarn and sticky tape one end onto the back of the paper plate.
3 – Thread the yarn back and forth between the holes to make a colourful flower head. You can sew in a very ordered manner working your way around the flower or you can be completely random. When you’ve finished, tape the loose end of yarn to the back of the plate. (Make it easier to thread by wrapping a small piece of sticky tape around the threading end of the yarn to make it more rigid.)
4 – Cut a large stem and leaf from green cardstock and a round flower middle from coloured cardstock of your choice.
5 – Glue the stem to the back of the paper plate. Fold the leaf in half lengthways to make a crease, unfold it and glue it to the stem.
6 – Stick the round piece of coloured cardstock into the middle of the paper plate flower.
These threaded paper plate flower craft is simple to do and such a pretty way to decorate the home or classroom.
