- Get an adult to iron your blank puppet to remove any creases. Paint a border 2cm in from the edge of the mouth in pink and fill in. (pic a)
- Paint the outside of the mouth and the rest of the puppet in bright orange and leave to dry.
- Cut a strip of yellow felt 10cm by 25cm and fold in half length-ways. Use scissors to cut a fringe all along the unfolded side. (pic b)
- Cut two 2cm wide strips of yellow self-adhesive felt and use these to fix the fringed mane around the neck of the lion, placing one strip on each side of the fold.
- Cut a smaller fringe from yellow felt and roll into a tube. Wrap one end of a rectangle of self-adhesive orange felt around the roll, cutting the other end into a curve to fix the tail to the back of the puppet. (pic c)
- Cut ears, eyes and a nose from self-adhesive felt, adding detail with a black fibre tip, and stick these to the face of the puppet.
