Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Research and sketch the basic geometric shapes that make up a wolf head helmet, focusing on polygonal facets (triangles, trapezoids).
2. Measure your head circumference and height to scale the helmet appropriately.
3. Draw the net pattern (jaring-jaring) of the wolf head on paper first, breaking the helmet into flat polygonal pieces that will fold and glue together.
4. Transfer the net pattern onto cardboard sheets carefully.
5. Cut out all the cardboard pieces precisely.
6. Score the fold lines gently with a craft knife to make folding easier.
7. Fold along the scored lines to form the 3D shapes.
8. Begin assembling by gluing the edges together according to the net layout, starting from the front (snout) and working backward.
9. Attach side panels and the top to complete the helmet shape.
10. Attach an elastic band or string inside the helmet to secure it on your head.
11. Once assembled and dried, optionally paint or color your wolf helmet for a realistic or stylized finish.
