Ready to make a fierce looking lion? Let’s do this!

Ribbon Lion Puppet Craft

What you need

  • ribbons (totally in love with this set)
  • wiggly eyes stickers (it’s the new googly eyes ha!)
  • glue dots (super important, regular glue doesn’t work well with ribbons, these work as magic)
  • craft sticks
  • glue
  • yellow cardstock paper
  • black marker

step1

Cut two circles out of yellow cardstock paper. Stick on two wiggly sticker eyes and draw mouth and snout. Cut ribbons to about same lengths (make a ribbon loop to determine the length you want to work with)

step2

Make loops from all the ribbons. Stick the ribbons together with a glue dot (or similar sticking sticker – or however you would call it).

step3

Glue the face onto a craft stick (you can use a regular glue here, or just keep on using the glue dots).

step4

Time to work on this lions’ mane. Stick the ribbon loops on the back of the head using glue dots.

step5

Stick the second yellow circle in the back. All done, your fierce looking Ribbon Lion Puppet Craft is ready to be played with.
