Assembled and painted wooden lion's head. |
I crafted this little lion for a child's tree using left-over notched popsicle sticks and just a few other supplies...
Supply List:- notched craft sticks
- pair of googly eyes
- scrap wooden round and heart
- acrylic paints: yellow, white, brown, burnt sienna, pink and black
- wood glue
- Mod Podge
- scrap cardboard
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Cut a circular shape to glue the pieces of wooden scraps and tips of notched popsicle sticks too.
- Glue a circular wooden shape in the center to begin with.
- Glue the first layer of notched sticks around the outside of this center piece.
- Glue a second layer of faux 'wooden' mane using the notched pieces on top of the first layer to make the hair look full.
- Glue on the heart shaped wooden piece upside down between two medium sized googly eyes to create a mussel.
- Cut a small end from a popsicle stick for the lion's tongue. You will need to shape the end of it in an inverted V shape to fit it snuggly between the heart humps.
- Using acrylics paint the lions head with similar colors and shades shown in the photo above.
- After the paint drys cover the ornament with a layer of Mod Podge.
- Glue a twine hanger to the back of the lion's head.
