Supplies:
- Paper Plates
- White Yarn
- Lavender Tablecloth
- Hole Punch
- Painter’s Tape
- Vampirina characters template (DOWNLOAD IT HERE)
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
First, determine how many character and spiderweb plates you’ll need to create. Do this by first measuring your wall space then laying your plates out on the floor in those same dimensions. Use sticky notes to determine which will be characters or spider webs and which will be solid.
Next, create your character paper plates. Download the free template and cut out the shapes to size.
Use a glue stick to adhere the shapes to the paper plate to create Vampirina and Demi.
To create the spiderweb paper plates, use a hole punch to punch 8 holes around the edge of the plate. Thread yarn through the holes to create this star pattern seen on the left. This is the base of the spiderweb shape.
Tie a piece of yarn to one strand about an inch from the end. Wrap the piece around each subsequent strand going clockwise to create the spiderweb effect. Tie it once it gets back to the first strand. Repeat with additional strands up the full length of the stand.
To create the actual backdrop, first, hang a plastic tablecloth on the wall if you are aren’t happy with the wall color. Tip: cut holes in the tablecloth where you’d hang the backdrop so the weight of the paper plates doesn’t pull the tablecloth down. Create loops of painter’s tape in these holes to hang them on the wall. Press the plates onto these tape loops, putting them back up in the order you determined before setup.
Now your Vampirina Paper Plate backdrop is ready for your Halloween party or birthday bash. Guests will love this budget-friendly display that brings these loveable characters to life!
