This paper plate magic cauldron is ideal for hanging on the wall and storing your favourite bits and bobs!

Why not paint one black and decorate for Hallowe'en too?

Close up of the decoration on the paper plate magic cauldron, including yellow, lilac and white star buttons, pompoms and scrunched balls of tissue paper.

You will need:

2 paper plates
scissors
glue
paint
holepunch
decorative bits eg stickers/buttons
ribbon-40cm length

How to make:

Cut 1 of the paper plates in half. Using one of the halves, cut out a large pot handle and 2 small handles using the photo as a guide.
Paint the BACK of the pot shapes and leave to dry.

Glue all around the outer edge of the second paper plate as shown.
Stick the large painted handle to the top of the second plate, then the large pot piece at the bottom. Press firmly around the edges. Finally, glue the little handles at sides. I used wooden clothes pegs to hold everything together whilst it was drying.

Have fun decorating your pot with stickers, buttons etc!
Punch a hole at the top of the pot. Thread the ribbon through and tie a knot to form a hanging loop.
