Woolly sheep mask

Photo of a woolly sheep maskYou will need:

  • Paper plate
  • White, pink and black card
  • Cotton wool balls
  • Gluestick or PVA glue and spreader
  • Thin elastic (approx. 30cm)
  • Scissors
  • Stapler

How to make a sheep mask:

  • Cut out a quarter segment and two round eye holes from the paper plate.
  • Glue on the cotton wool balls to make the sheep woolly. Top tip – cut the cotton wool balls into three slices with a sharp pair of scissors before you start. It makes them go further and reduces the weight of the finished mask.
  • Cut out two white ears, two pink inner ears and a black nose from the card.
  • Glue the features on top of the cotton wool on the plate.
  • Cut a suitable length of elastic to go around the back of the head. Tie a knot in each end to stop it slipping through and staple to each side of the plate to complete the mask.
