Step by step Instructions:
The paper plate that I have used for the craft is 30 cm. You will need at least this big plate to accommodate seven colours. First, let’s cut the paper plate in Half. Then Draw six equidistant concentric circles (use a compass if needed)
Next, we will prepare 1 cm wide thin paper strips of all the colours of the rainbow. You can cut strips with scissors, but I would recommend getting a paper trimmer. This paper trimmer can save you a lot of time, and the strips will be ready in a jiff.
Arrange all the papers together and cut four long strips.
Now, let begin by sticking them on the paper plate. Start with the red stripe. Apply some glue and start folding and sticking the red paper strip within the border. You have to fold in accordion style like in the image.
Continue to stick all the colours in the same way. Try to make all the folds uniform for the best output. It will be complete in no time.
