Directions;
Paint the back side of your plate with brown paint, and allow to dry. Once dry cut the plate in half, and place the two white sides together (so that the brown sides face out). Use the hole punch to put several holes along the round edge of the plate. Tie off your yarn or thread, and lace it through the holes to create a bowl. Once finished, use white paint to create a lacing on the side of your bowl. Allow to dry, and fill with your favorite snack.
