Yarn Paper Plate Heart Craft – Beginner Sewing What’s Needed Skein Pink Yarn or any color you like best Skein Purple Yarn or any color you like best Medium Paper Plates, white and pink Hole Punch Scissors Tape Optional: Child Friendly Sewing Needle Directions 1. Cut a heart out of the middle of each paper plate. Make sure you leave about a half inch around the heart on the flat part of the plate. I cut my first heart out of one plate and used that as a template on my second plate. 2. Now take the hole punch and punch holes around the entire heart. Only leave a tiny space in between each hole, so that you will have a lot of holes. 3. Take a very long piece of yarn, mine was about 3-4 yards because I didn’t want to run out part way through. With the plate right side up, put one end of the yarn through a hole and tape it to the back side of the plate. 4. Take the other end of the yarn and start threading it through the holes back and forth. You can do it in a pattern or just anywhere, as long as you make sure you go through each hole one time. 5. Once you’ve gone through every hole, finish with the yarn going through a hole to the back of the plate, tape it and trim off any excess yarn.
