• scissors
• stapler

If you do not have a dark green paper plate, a white one can be easily painted with gouache or acrylic paint. Let it dry well and cut into three isosceles triangles. Glue the resulting parts in the shape of a Christmas tree. From above, you can make a hole and tie the twine in the form of a loop. Such Christmas trees decorate curtains or wall. Do not forget that it is customary to decorate any Christmas tree. In our case, small beads, sequins or buttons are suitable.

We use the same technique - cut the plates into triangles. Now from the obtained triangles we will make flags. If you take colored plates, the garland of flags will be more elegant.

It is not necessary to paint the reverse side of the plate if you are not going to hang the flags so that they can be seen from both sides.

From white paper or plastic plates, it is not at all difficult to cut christmas angels . See for yourself: a few cuts with scissors and the silhouette of an angel is already looming.

Usually these are alphabets, where there are also numbers. To make your “clock” also show minutes, take two plates of different sizes and glue them together. On the outer plate, beautifully write the minutes with a felt-tip pen, and on the inner plate, stick the numbers to indicate the hours.

If you can’t find numbers anywhere, you just have to draw them on a plate. Make the arrows and the pendulum out of cardboard.
