I love to snack and I love good food presentation so today’s video is all about both! Today I’m sharing an update to my most-loved DIY to date—my paper plate baskets. Because if you didn’t know you can make a basket using a paper plate you gotta know. It’s such a quick and easy DIY that you’re going to want to make these for every occasion.
DIY paper plate baskets
supplies
uncoated paper plates
watercolors + paint brush
permanent double-sided tape
directions
- Paint fun patterns on the top side of uncoated paper plates. I used gouache paints I had on hand but you can use any type of paint, even a kid’s school watercolor set will do the job. Just paint as you please and allow the plates to dry completely before assembling them.
- Then watch the video below to see how to fold and assemble them!
- Fill with your favorite snacks—my choice is Harvest Snaps!
