flower decoration
@heyitsdesiree_ When you’ve done balloon garlands for the last 5 years, but you finally decide to mix it up and do the paper plate flowers instead! Total for the paper plates was $6.79 at Walmart, and this was actually really fun, the kids even helped. Each year the night before a birthday we do a setup and surprise the birthday kiddo in the morning. Safe to say our birthday girl was a fan! ✨🌼🌸 Credit: @bargainbethany for the incredible idea! #birthday#celebrations#paperplate#flowers#decor#momlife#teamwork#birthdaygirl#birthdayparty#family

Here is a decoration using colorful paper plates to make flowers.
Prepare colored paper plates and glue, and let’s get started.
Apply glue to a colored paper plate and attach pieces in the shape of flower petals.
The key is to attach each petal one by one while checking the overall balance so the petals are evenly spaced.
Finally, choose a paper plate in a different color for the flower’s center, stick it on, and you’re done.
Since the steps are simple, this craft is highly recommended for decorating indoor spaces for birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, and other celebrations.
