- Cut a circle out of craft foam that is seven inches in diameter. Trace the mask form onto the circle of craft foam, including the eyes (figure A). Cut out the eyeholes.
- Hot glue the mask on the craft foam (figure B).
- Continue to cut out craft foam pieces and hot glue them onto the base as follows: Muzzle/Nose -- cut a trapezoid 7" x 6" x 4" x 6" (figure C ). Place a dab of hot glue on the two short corners and pinch them together at a 45-degree angle. Turn it inside out and hot glue the tabs down (figure D). Hot glue the nose in a semi-circle to the front of the mask under the eyes. Cut the craft foam and mask out from under the nose in a semi-circle (figure E).
- To make the jaw, cut out a craft foam circle 3 inches in diameter. Cut in half and hot glue one piece onto each side of the nose.
- To make the chin, cut a circle 4 inches in diameter out of foam. Hot glue two pleats in the circle, just like you did the nose. Turn inside out and hot glue the tabs down. Hot glue under the nose attaching it to the jaw pieces (figure F).
- To make the ears, cut two ear pieces and hot glue them to the top of the head (figure G).
- Cut some hair, otherwise called a mane, out of felt and hot glue between the ears (figure H).
- Decorate with paint pens.
Tips:: - Always have an adult supervise when you use hot glue and scissors.
- To draw different circles, you can trace plates or bowls, but remember to ask an adult first!
- If the hot glue made a big mess out of your foam, you can paint the entire mask with acrylic paint. The foam takes it very well.
Products: All products are available at craft, art, and all purpose stores nationwide.
