How to make a lion mask with paper plate

1. Paint the center of the plate, on the back, with yellow paint. Paint the border with brown paint, including a triangle of 'hair' on the forehead in the same color. Mark your eyes with a pencil and cut out the holes.

2. Cut strips of yellow, orange and brown silk paper. Make them of different sizes and widths.

3. Stick the tissue paper strips around the plate. Put glue with the brush and see superimposing strips combining the colors.

4. Cut out the template of the nose, nose and whiskers. You can download the template HERE. Mark the first one on brown cardboard, and the nose and mustache in black.

5. Glue the lion's nose on the lower part of the mask, the nose in the center and the whiskers on the sides of the nose.

6. Paint some points on the cardboard nose with a marker. Make two holes in the edge of the plate at eye level. Pass a piece of elastic rubber through one of the holes and tie a knot. Do the same with the other side, and you can roar like a real lion!
