Twirling Name Plates

Why

Add a new twist to your party decorations! Create colorful Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ nameplates to wow your guests.


Steps

1. Make colorful, party-perfect nameplates with your Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™! Decorate as many pieces of paper as you need on your Spinner, following the directions in the box. Then you’re ready to make each name plate.

2. Fold Color Explosion Spinner™ paper in half. Draw any shape you like, just so the top of the shape is against the fold. Design your nameplates to match your party theme!

3. Use Crayola Scissors to cut around the shape, keeping part of it uncut at the fold. Write each person’s name and decorate the nameplate with Color Explosion color-reveal markers. Add extra pizzazz with Crayola Glitter Glue. You could also attach buttons, sequins, stickers, or other embellishments with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the glue.

4. Decorate your table with the name plates. Get ready to party!
