  • Step 2Look to our lion mask design for inspiration or come up with your own.
  • Step 3Mix a light shade of orange paint from yellow and orange paint. Use this to paint your mask. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Paint your lion’s cheeks brown and his eyebrows dark brown. Give him a big black shiny nose, add some black spots to his cheeks and outline his eyes with a fine paint brush. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Cut 2 round orange ears from orange felt. Cut 2 smaller inner ears and attach to your lion’s ears with glue. Attach to your mask with a hot glue gun.
  • Step 6Cut a mane from yellow wool and attach to your mask with a hot glue gun.
  • Step 7Allow you mask to dry before wearing!
