Ways to Decorate the Paper Strawberry Craft

Once you have the base and shape of your strawberry craft, think of creative ways to decorate it. You can use black paint to fingerprint seed-like dots on strawberries. You can also use a googly eye to make them look like real strawberries.

If you want to add more texture, you can use green and yellow felt pieces to create the leaves for the top of the strawberry.

You can also add glitter for that extra sparkle. Also, use craft sticks to make stems for your strawberry.

How To Make Paper Plate Strawberry

Begin by cutting the sides away from the paper plate to make the shape of a strawberry. It needs to go from a smaller rounded shape at the bottom to a larger rounded shape at the top.

With one piece of the paper plate you cut away, cut some large jagged edges. You'll also need a small rectangle shape.

paint each piece of strawberry craft paper plate

Paint the strawberry shape red and the other 2 pieces green.

Let the paint dry completely.

When the paint is dry, glue the jagged piece to the top of the strawberry for leaves. Glue the stem to the very top.
