Instructions
Dracula Paper Plate
- Start by painting your paper plate black and purple, using the underside of the paper plate. Give your vampire a nice spiky hairline—it's his signature look.

- Secure pieces with glue and allow to dry.
- Add pupils to the eyes and a nose with black marker.
Frankenstein Paper Plate
- Start by painting your paper plate light green and black.
- Give him a jagged hairline. Allow dry time.
- Cut the eyes, tooth and mouth pieces from black and white paper. Use glue to secure the pieces to the plate.
- Make sure the paint has dried, then use black marker to add pupils to the eyes and a scar with stitches to his forehead.
Witch Paper Plate
- Prep by painting a plate light green.
- Cut white, black and green paper to create shapes for eyes, noses and mouths. Cut hats from black paper.
- Secure black yarn with glue to create hair. If you don't want to mess with yarn, replace with paper hair.
Jack-o'-Lantern Paper Plate
- Start by painting your paper plate orange (bonus points for including multiple shades of orange for different pumpkins).
- Cut brown paper to make a stem.
- Cut black paper to create jack-o'-lantern faces. Secure with glue.
