How to make a pig mask with paper plate

1. Paint the plate with pink paint (you can do it by mixing white and red). Mark your eyes with a pencil and cut out the holes. Paint also the cup with the same color.

2. Mark the silhouette of the glass on the bottom of the plate, to make the nose. Put glue on the mark and on the edge of the glass and stick it.

3. With a black marker or paint draw the smile and the holes in the nose.

4. Cut out the template of the ears. You can download the template HERE. Mark the silhouette on pink cardboard, the same as the painting, and cut them out.

5. Stick the ears on the top of the mask, so that they protrude slightly and with the vertex facing down.

6. 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 the craft is ready.
