How to make this Jellyfish paper plate craft for kids

Cut the paper plate in half.

Paint one half of the paper plate blue. Use a second coat if needed. Set aside and allow to dry completely.

Using the hole punch, punch 8 holes into the flat bottom part of the paper plate.

Try to space the holes out as evenly as possible.

Cut the yarn into 12 inch pieces. Complete this step 8 times.

String each piece of yarn into each hole in the paper plate and tie into a knot. (I place the yarn going through the painted side and tie in a knot on the unpainted side.
