Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Print or draw the 2D wolf head template on paper. The template should consist of flat shapes including the main head, ears, snout, and jaw pieces.
2. Transfer the template pieces onto the cardboard by tracing with a pencil.
3. Carefully cut out all the cardboard pieces using scissors or a craft knife on a safe cutting surface.
4. Score the fold lines gently with the knife without cutting through the cardboard to enable easy folding.
5. Fold along the scored lines to shape the 3D form of the wolf head.
6. Begin gluing the pieces together according to the template instructions: attach the snout to the main head, then add the ears and jaw.
7. Hold pieces together with tape temporarily if needed until the glue sets.
8. Once assembled, paint or color the mask with black marker or paint to add wolf-like details such as fur texture and eyes.
9. Attach an elastic band or string to the sides of the mask to secure it on your head.
10. Try on the mask and adjust the elastic for comfort.
