How to make
Add some white paint to the brown and mix.
Paint the princess cardboard cut out and leave to dry.
Next, mix some yellow with a little brown paint and paint the lion’s face and body, and allow to dry.
Repeat with a second coat on each.
Paint some black hair on the princess’s head. Then, glue the paper skirt and felt top to her body.
Leave to dry.
Carefully cut a slit in the top of the headdress with scissors, big enough for the princess’s head to poke through.
Glue in place, then add some googly eyes.
Take the felt lion’s mane and carefully cut some slits for the ears to poke through.
Then stick the face in place with glue.
