L for Lion Craft with Printable Template

Supplies needed to make this L for Lion Craft:

Printable Template
Yellow Felt or Construction Paper or craft foam sheets
Brown Felt or Construction Paper or craft foam sheets
Black Felt or Construction Paper or craft foam sheets
An old CD
Scissors
Glue Gun or Glue stick if using paper.
Googly Eyes

Steps to make this L for Lion Craft:

Print the Craft template on an A4 or Letter Sized paper. Cut out all the parts – the head, the ears, the mane, the whiskers, the mouth, and the nose. Use these cutout templates as your reference points and trace onto Felt. We used a 2mm stiff felt to make this craft. Alternately, you could use construction paper or craft foam in similar colors.

Glue the yellow head on the CD first. Then add the mane on the front and ears on top of that.

Finally, glue on the nose, the whiskers, eyes & mouth.

Isn’t that a not so fierce looking lion craft? This one can also double up as a DIY lion puppet.
