DIRECTIONS:

  • First things first – fold your white cardstock paper in half. Straight up the center.
  • Next open it back up and squirt a few lines of yellow & orange paint squiggles with ON ONE SIDE before closing up the cardstock paper again.
  • Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical “lion mane” print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
  • Now you are ready to open it back up to reveal the lion fur design underneath.
  • Next grab your tan cardstock paper and the scissors.
  • Cut out a lion head shape and glue it to the center of your paint covered paper piece.
  • Follow that up by gluing on the wiggle eyes and drawing on a smile.
  • Once finished, add any other embellishments you like.
  • Then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
