Materials Needed

• A paper plate or a piece of sturdy cardboard

Steps to Make a Lion Mask

1. Prepare the Base
   • If using a paper plate, cut out two holes for the eyes.
   • If using cardboard, draw the shape of a lion’s face and cut it out. Then, cut out the eye holes.
2. Color the Mask
   • Paint or color the mask yellow to resemble a lion’s fur.
   • Let the paint dry before moving on to the next step.
3. Create the Mane
   • Cut strips of orange and yellow construction paper, about 5-7 cm long.
   • Curl the edges slightly by rolling them around a pencil for a more realistic mane effect.
   • Glue the strips around the outer edges of the mask, alternating colors for a full mane.
4. Add Facial Features
   • Use a black marker to draw a nose and whiskers.
   • You can also cut out and glue extra paper shapes to create a more 3D effect for the nose and ears.
5. Attach the Holding Mechanism
   • If you want to wear the mask, punch holes on the sides and tie an elastic string.
   • Alternatively, glue a wooden stick to the bottom so you can hold it up like a masquerade mask.
