The Lions of Waltham Forest
Make a Lion Mask from a large cardboard box
Suitable for all ages
Step 1
Get all your equipment together
This is harder, though with more scope for your own design than the monkey mask. Younger makers may need some adult help
You will need:
-
A large piece of thin card,
-
Some water based paint (red, blue and yellow, white) mixed together make light brown)
-
Paint tray or pot
-
Black marker pen
-
Glue and stapler
-
Pencil and ruler
-
Scissors
-
Any decorations like tissue paper (optional)
Step 2
-
Draw a large circle. I drew round a frying pan.
-
This circle is 30 cm by 32 cm, so not quite round.
-
Then cut your circle out.
Step 3
We all enjoy colour mixing. Mix red, yellow, blue and white to make light brown. I used lots of yellow in the mix.
Step 4
Paint the circle you have cut out brown, save some of the paint for the ears,
Step 5
-
Make the ears by drawing 2 more circles. I drew round a baked bean can, cut them out.
-
Paint one circle brown and the other yellow and let dry, Cut both circles in half. Cut the yellow circles down in size to make inner ears and I shaped the outer ear a bit as well, Glue the inner ear to the outer ear.
