Have you been wondering how to use craft ideas you've found on the internet? Craft ideas are a lot like journaling prompts, they are meant to be used as a starting point for your creativity to take off. Take one idea and think of all the different ways you could make that project. Its kind of like asking a class of 30 first graders to each draw an apple. At the end of the activity you'll get 30 different unique apple masterpieces.
Let's take "make a paper plate horse mask" for example. I can think of at least 3 ways how to use this craft idea off the top of my head. 1 - draw a horse face on the plate, cut it out, and then add eye openings and ties. 2 - curve the plate into a horse face shape, add the eye openings, and then make the ties.
