How to make it

1. Paint the paper plate yellow and let dry.
2. Cut seven large triangles from the yellow paper.
3. Cut seven skinnier triangles from the orange paper.
4. Use glue stick to add the triangles to the back of the painted paper plate. Keep the ends of the triangles about ½” from the rimmed line of the plate.
