Make a Lion Frieze

If you're looking for simple lion crafts for kids, try making my lion frieze from just a strip of thin card. Great for decorating their room!

You will need:

• Thin card or paper

• Pencil, scissors and ruler

• Felt-tip pens or coloured pencils

Here's how ...

1. Cut a strip of paper or thin card approximately 24cm x 7cm.

2. Fold into four sections so that you have a concertina of four 6cm x 7cm rectangles.

3. On the top section, draw a lion as shown. Make sure that the lion's body touches the left and right-hand edges of the rectangle.



4. Cut around your lion design, making sure you leave a piece uncut at each side, so that your lions stay joined together.

5. Open out and colour or decorate the four lions however you wish.



6. Repeat to make a frieze of any length by joining the blocks together, and display on a wall.

Variations:

Use longer strips of paper and make more folds to make more lions at a time.

Use larger paper to make larger rectangles and, therefore, larger lions!
