Steps

Begin by portray the underside of your paper plate with a pores and skin tone that fits you or the particular person you might be making a portrait of. Set it apart to dry.

Discover what shade your iris is. Hint a bottle cap to make some lovely eyes.

Glue your irises onto some white paper and use a marker to hint the whites of the eyes. Draw some pupils. These are your eyes!

When your paper plate is dry, glue your eyes midway down the plate. Your eyes are about one eye-width other than one another, cool proper? We made our eyes large for a extra cartoon impact. Tip: you’ll be able to add a dot of white paint on the attention to create a practical impact. We used the tip of our pencil.

To make the nostril, mouth, cheeks, and eyebrows, get artistic! We used a marker to attract a nostril, lower out a mouth, and glued two brief items of yarn in place for the eyebrows. We made cheeks with some development paper and a bottle cap. To make the hair, use a gap punch to punch holes across the prime half of your head.

Prepared for hair!

Subsequent, take some yarn and wrap it round your fingers. Wrap round two fingers for curls, 4 fingers for longer locks. After you have a pleasant bundle, wrap the size of yarn by means of the bundle and tie it in a knot.

Use the identical ends to tie by means of the opening made by the opening punch on the paper plate. Go away as is for curly hair, or lower the underside of the looped yarn for straight hair.

Make a collar across the neck. Hint the underside fringe of the paper plate onto some development paper, then draw your detailed collar or bowtie. Minimize it out and glue it in place.
