PINK
ACRYLIC PAINT
LENGTH OF RIBBON OR CORDING

INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Use pink acrylic to paint back sides of both plates. Let dry.
2. Paint the front side of one
of the plates halfway down. Let dry.
3. Take the plate with the unpainted front side, and with
fancy-edged scissors, trim the plate not quite
halfway down. Place plates together so that
outsides of plates are facing out.
4. Use hole punch to punch holes in both plates, keeping edges
of plates aligned.
5. Thread ribbon or cord through holes in plate, leaving enough at each end
so that the Caddy can easily

a knot.

glue dries.
7. When dry, the Caddy is ready to hang on the doorknob of your senior's room.
