Materials

  • Paper plates
  • Paint in gray, black, brown, orange etc.
  • White cardstock
  • Colored cardstock pink and black
  • Black marker optional
  • Tape
  • Dog template download form located at the end of this post

Instructions

  • Download the dog template, print and cut out the pieces. Take your paper plate and paint it to resemble a dog.
  • Paint another paper plate the same shade you did for the face. This second paper plate will be for the dog's ears. Once the paint has dried, use the outer ear dog template to cut out the ears.
  • Glue the eyes on the paper plate. If you want to add a little more dimension, use the black marker to draw a black curved line under each of the eyes.
  • Glue the nose between and just slightly below the eyes. Use the black marker to draw on the muzzle and mouth.
  • Create the ears by gluing the pink inner ear to the outer ear. Repeat for both ears.
  • Use some double sided tape or make a loop with regular tape and place it on the bottom of the completed ears. Position the ears at the top of the dog face paper plate and push it on to secure it.
  • Flip the paper plate over and add some tape on the back as well to securely hold the ears in place.
