How to make
To Make the Lion’s Face: Step 1
Step 2
Punch out two circles from the pink paper. Alternatively, draw around a 10p coin twice and cut out.
Step 3
Arrange all the pieces on the face, then using a brush and some glue, stick them all in place.
Use a black pen to draw a line down from the nose, a mouth and three dots either side of the nose.
Step 4
Cut three thin strips of white paper or card, then cut these in half to make six whiskers. Add a bit of glue to one end of a whisker and stick to the lion’s face, either side of the nose.
To Make the Lion’s Mane: Step 1
Then do the same with the pink and yellow pipe cleaners. Again you want about 22 of each colour.
Step 2
Continue adding orange, yellow and pink pipe cleaners around the edge of the paper plate, to build up the lion’s mane. Rotating the plate as you go.
Step 3
Step 4
Add pompoms all around, pushing them into the glue. They don't have to be in a particular order.
Take the lion's face and apply some glue to the back, just around the edge is fine. Then position it onto the centre of the paper plate, pressing out any air bubbles and smoothing it down.
