    How To Make Captain America's Shield 

    Drawing Star and Circles on Paper Plate

    Start by making marks for the division on your paper plate using a pencil. Make three circles in different sizes then start at the middle.

    paint smallest circle blue around the star

    Paint the smallest circle blue leaving the star empty. The blue circle

    paint second ring red

    Paint the middle circle red.

    Leave next ring white and then next one red

    Then paint the outer circle in a red stripe leaving a space between them white.

    Let the paint dry and there you have your paper plate, Captain
    America!

    The best way to turn the back of the shield into a hand grip is to use a piece of duct tape. Fold a piece of tape in half with both sticky ends together. Then using two smaller pieces tape the piece of tape to the back of the paper plate with enough room for your hand to hold.

    Viola, you have a fun craft for Captain America!

    Happy Captain America!
