Materials Needed to Make the Paper Plate Clock Craft

Brads
Cardstock (for clock hands)
Bells
Star confetti with glue or stickers, optional
Hole punch
Scissors

How to Make the New Year’s Paper Plate Clock Craft

1. Punch holes around the edge of the paper plate.

2. Lace a piece of curling ribbon through two holes and tie to secure. Repeat until all holes are filled.

3. On the last two holes, add a bell to the curling ribbon as it is laced through the holes. This will be the top of the clock.

4. Cut two strips of cardstock to fit the paper plate from the middle to the edge of the center (depending on the size of the plate.) Punch a hole through one end of each paper strip.

5. Push a brad through the middle of the paper plate. Remove the brad and loop the brad through the holes of the strips cut to be the clock hands. Then, push the brad back through the hold in the middle of the paper plate and bend the ends behind the clock to keep in place.
