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

Discover what colour 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 massive for a extra cartoon impact. Tip: you may add a dot of white paint on the attention to create a sensible 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, reduce out a mouth, and glued two quick items of yarn in place for the eyebrows. We made cheeks with some building 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. Upon getting a pleasant bundle, wrap the size of yarn by way of the bundle and tie it in a knot.

Use the identical ends to tie by way of the outlet made by the outlet punch on the paper plate. Go away as is for curly hair, or reduce 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 building paper, then draw your detailed collar or bowtie. Lower it out and glue it in place.
