Need a simple craft idea for an Avengers or Captain America Party then you will want to add these easy to make Captain America Shields. They don’t require much and not very messy. You might get some participants to color on a wall or floor but other than that they are very easy to make.
What you Need:
– Paper Plate
– Red, Blue Crayons or colored pencils
– Cardstock
– Stapler
– Sharpie
How to Make:
1. First take your paper plate and face eating side down. You can get small or large paper plates at Dollar Tree for $1 for 20 count of the smaller solid color or 12 ct for the larger dinner plate. You can also find these at Wal-mart for $.97. I choose black because that is what I had on hand. To keep with the Captain America theme you may want to choose either, red, blue or silver plates.
Take the black sharpie and draw a circle around the bent rim of the plate for the first rim.
2. Draw a second circle about an inch in for the next rim. Draw a smaller circle of the center plate. Draw a star in the middle. I used various items such as a cup for the center circle and a small bowl for the in between circle.
3. Have your party guests color their own Captain America Shield. Provide them with plenty of red and blue crayons so they will not have to wait turns. Make the coloring experience less stressful and fun. Be sure to add your very own “Build your Own Shield” so your guests are aware they are to color the shields.
4. Take a 1 inch strip of cardstock the length of the plate and staple each end on the inside of the plate to make the handle. Make sure this is thick enough that it will not easily be broken. Be careful when you staple. Make sure it is facing inwards to keep potential harm from happening!
That is it! You are done!
