Materials

  • Paper plates
  • Green paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
  • Black marker
  • Frankenstein craft template

Instructions

  • Download the Frankenstein craft template, print, and cut out the pieces you'll be using.
  • Paint the paper plate with a thin coat of green paint and let dry completely. Once the paper plate is dry, cut off a few inches from the top of the paper plate. Save this leftover piece to cut the ears out of later.
  • Take Frankenstein’s hair and glue it to the side where you cut off the paper plate.
  • Glue the eyes just below the hairline, in the middle of the paper plate.
  • Use the black marker to draw on Frankenstein’s nose and mouth. Also, draw on a few stitches around the open space of his face.
  • Glue the eyebrows on top of each eye.
  • Trace the ear template on the paper plate you cut off in Step 2 or on colored cardstock.
  • Glue Frankenstein’s ear just below his hairline on each side of the plate.
  • For this example, we cut out his ear from the part of the paper plate we cut off in step 2, but you can also use colored cardstock.
  • Position the bolts just below Frankenstein’s ears and glue them in place.
