This week, my Eucharist 1 class topic was about the Holy Spirit, so it was the perfect opportunity to make doves! 

What You Need:

• White paper plate (the cheap kind)
• Markers
• Scissors
• Glue
• [Optional]: Dove Body Template (Download)
• [Optional]: String/ribbon
• [Optional]: Tape
• [Optional]: Hole punch

Let's Create this Craft:

• Start with a regular, cheap paper plate. 
• Draw two lines to make the wings.
• In the middle section, draw the body and tail of the dove. [I created a template you can use if you don’t want to free-hand it].
• [Tip: Draw the lines you need to cut on the back of the paper plate. That way, when you flip it over, the marker lines won’t show] (See Picture).
• Cut on your lines, and then assemble like a dove with one of the big wings on each side. 
• Glue the wings on the back of the dove.
• Draw on some simple feet, a beak, and 2 eyes with markers. 
• [Optional]: Punch a hole on the top of both wings. Tie the string through it so you can hang it up. Tape the string closest to the dove to the back (See Picture).
