How To Make A DIY Belle Dress
SUPPLIES NEEDED
- 1 large white paper plate
- Paintbrush
- Scissors
- Glue stick or double-sided scotch tape
- Bright yellow paint
- Small pearl stickers
- 2 mini red ribbon bows
- 5 small white pom poms
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
1. For the bodice of the dress, cut 2 slits at the top of the plate, in the upper ridge, 2 inches apart.
2. Bend each side of the plate over towards the front until the sides overlap (see pic). (This helps you to see what part of the back of the plate needs painting).
3. Paint the front of the plate yellow. Set aside for 30 minutes to dry.
4. Paint the back of the plate (just the 2 ends that are pulled forward). Set aside for 20 minutes to dry.
5. Re-fold the 2 ends of the plate and glue or tape them to the main part of the plate.
6. Take a strand of the stick-on pearls and place them on the outer edge of the folded-over part of the plate. Repeat on the other end of the folded-over plate.
7. Glue a red glitter scrapbook bow on each side of the dress, above each pearl strand.
8. Apply the glue stick across the top of the bodice of the dress and place the 5 small white pom poms on top, all the way across.
9. Finished!
