Paper Plate Eye Ball

What you need:
paper plate
pencil
tissue paper (black, white, and whatever color you want for the iris)
glue
scissors
red crayon

This one I can't claim for my own. My very talented co-worker did this fun project for art today. First you take your paper plate and draw a circle to make your pupil. You can make two smaller circles inside to make the glimmer ;)
Now, cut your tissue paper into small 2" squares. 
Ms. Crissenda chose these awesome colors to put out for the kids to choose from. Use the white tissue paper to fill in the two smaller circles (the "glimmer"). 
To apply the tissue paper squares, you have two options...well, two that I am telling you about. #1 Apply glue to the circle. Scrunch the tissue paper and press onto the plate.
#2 Apply glue to the circle. Take the eraser end of your pencil and wrap the tissue paper around the top and scrunch it. Press the flat end into the glue and pull pencil away.
Now that the two smaller circles are done, continue the same process for the black pupil and colored iris. Lastly, take your red crayon and draw the veins. Tada! A spooky craft that's fun for kids. Enjoy!
