How to do it
- 1
Dip a plastic fork into red paint and stamp it repeatedly in a circular pattern to create the lion's mane, working around the outside of where the face will be.
- 2
Dip a round sponge into yellow/orange paint and press it firmly in the center of the mane to create the lion's face.
- 3
Cut small circles and curved shapes from black paper for eyes, nose, and eyebrows, then glue or press them onto the sponge-painted face.
- 4
Use a black marker to add a mouth and any additional details to complete the lion's expression.
Tips & extensions
Load the fork with a generous amount of paint and stamp at different angles around the circle to get a full, spiky mane effect.
