Why not surprise your mother with this gift this Mother’s Day by preparing this hanging wall pocket? It is very easy to follow and mum can hang it in the kitchen to put any odds and ends that would otherwise be misplaced.

Hanging Wall Pocket

Supplies:

• 2 plain paper plates

• a puncher

• yarn or coloured wool

• scissors

• stickers (optional)

• thick needle (optional)

• crayons, paint, or markers

1. Cut one paper plate in half.

2. Punch holes along the straight edge, about 2.5cm apart (do not punch near the circular part yet).

2. Put the plates together, the fronts together, forming a pocket. While holding them together, punch holes around the edges about 2.5cm apart. It may help to use paper clips to hold the two plates together.

3. “Sew” up all the edges with yarn or coloured wool. You can use an upholstery needle or if you do not know how to use the needle, put a bit of nail polish on the end of the string, let it dry properly, and this will act like a needle.

4. Make a hole for hanging the wall pocket on the wall. Decorate the wall pocket with crayons, markers or paint. If you want to, you can also decorate the plate with a photo of yourself or of all the family.

I am sure mummy will

be delighted with your

little gift.
