The lion, the king of beasts, wants to be made for a child from ready template on this lesson. All you have to do is prepare all the missing materials and follow from one stage to another.
Necessary materials:
Step by step photo lesson:
We print the template of a cute lion on a white semi-cardboard and then carefully cut out all the details: both large and small. Everything should come out with four cut out elements - a torso in the form of a cube blank, a head with a mane, a tail and a detail to create volume for the head.
We bend the blank for the body along all lines.
We apply glue only on the white areas of the body and glue it with adjacent sides. Get the result of the body of a lion in the form of a cube. Let's leave the workpiece aside and move on to creating other parts.
We take a small detail in the form of a strip. Apply glue to the corresponding part. We glue. We get a box.
Apply glue to most white color of this box and apply to the back of the lion's head. Then glue the other side of the box to the body. We get the voluminous head of the king of beasts.
Let the glue dry thoroughly so that this part of the craft does not move down. In the meantime, you can compare our result with yours and, if necessary, correct it.
At the end there was a small tail. It should be bent along the horizontal black line in half. We apply glue to the white area and lean this part against the back of the body.
Here is a finished cute lion from a printed template in the form of a three-dimensional color craft for a child. From such a king of beasts, no one will remain indifferent!

If I use plastic, then it is paper glue, it looks like papier-mâché. I usually paint the plastic with acrylic and varnish it. Hand-painted, it seems to me, conveys feelings more than baked colored plastic."http://olga-bogoro.blogspot.ru/
