Step 1

Create the Shape and Paint the Face of the Paper Plate Grinch

IMG_3755

Fold the paper plate in half. You want to create symmetry so the line should be straight and centered as possible.

Draw exactly as shown in the image above. This will be helpful in forming the shape that we want. The grinch has a furry face and to capture that look there would be hair protruding from his cheeks in this craft.

Tip:Try to take a closer look at the drawing, and take your time when making the lines. Although, if you are experienced in using the scissors, you could cut immediately!

Use your drawing as a guide to making the shape of the face of the Grinch. A smooth cut is what you want so taking your time while cutting is good.

Unfold it, and there you have it. The shape of the face of the Grinch. But now you have to get your green paint and color the face evenly.

Good job, you've made excellent progress. Our next objective is to paste the the pieces of the printable to paper plate.

Step 2

Cut and Paste the Free Printable

IMG_3773

The first thing to do is download the file if you haven't already. Then you should print the file which has the eyes, hat, and nose of the Grinch.

Cut the hat, eyes, and nose carefully out of your printable. Start by dividing the paper into three sections separating the hat, both eyes, and the nose. Then finally cut the pieces out.

Paste the eyes to the paper plate. The placement and orientation of the eyes are important here although they can be subtle. In this example, the eyes are placed in the center and they are leveled.

Glue the nose to the Grinch paper plate below and between the eyes.

And finally, attach the hat. Great job! We are almost there.

Step 3

Complete the Grinch by Adding the Details

IMG_3787

Add cotton balls at the tip and base of the hat. This gives the appearance of a true Christmas hat.

IMG_3789

Get ready to put some fine lines on the paper plate grinch to make the smirk. Don't forget to include philtrum and connect it to the lip line. In making the mouth of the Grinch, we want to make the lips seem a bit naughty.

Then paint the border of the face to give it a crisp look.
