“The Lion King” mask family DIY craft project.
“The Lion King” is coming to Blu-ray. Join Simba, Timon, Pumba, and the rest of the residents of the Pride Lands with this do-it-yourself lion mask! Disney’s animated classic is taking its rightful place on the Walt Disney Signature Collection August 29, 2017.
This DIY mask project is inspired by “The Lion King” movie. You and your friends can make your own, with a little help from an adult, in about an hour.
The Lion King DIY Mask Craft Project
Here’s what you need:
- 2 sheets of yellow construction paper
- 2 sheets of orange construction paper
- 1 sheet of black construction paper
- 1 sheet of brown construction paper
- 1 paper plate
- Glue
- Scissors
- Pencil
Follow these steps:
The Lion King DIY Mask Craft Project
- Draw a circle on the paper plate and then cut out a hole big enough to fit your face.
- Cut the yellow and orange construction paper into 1 inch strips.
TIP: Parents, if you have a paper trimmer or cutter, this part will go faster if you cut multiple sheets at a time.
The Lion King DIY Mask Craft Project
- Glue the strips around the paper plate alternating colors; an orange strip then a yellow one until the circle is covered
- Outline the ears. Use the brown sheet of construction paper to make the outer part of the ear, then cut a smaller ear from the black sheet of construction paper
- Glue the black pieces over the brown
- Glue the ears to the paper strips. Make sure to glue the ears over the plate area – the strongest part of the mask
- Glue or staple a large Popsicle stick to the bottom of the plate. This will be the masks handle.
