Take another plate and cut the whole edge off and cut the plate in half. Glue one half of the plate to the bottom of the first plate with a glue gun. I think you need to use a glue gun to keep this glued down properly, especially for the plates I used. They had a shiny side to them that I thought wouldn&#8217;t stay well with just regular school glue. Use a split pin (brad) to attach the other half plate. This will make a little container that you can store cards or small toys in. Before you assemble the project have the kids decorate it like their favorite poke ball.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1888 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.comwp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1559-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Sylveon Ears\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1559-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1559-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1559-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lolliesorcandy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1559-1024x1020.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve noticed some Pokemon headbands in stores right now, but I made this pair of ears from bunny ears that I got around Easter.
