Instructions
- Download the pilgrim template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
- Paint a paper plate in 1-2 thin coats of skin-colored paint. Let dry completely before moving on.
- Begin to create the hat by gluing the hat band to the base of the hat. Trim off any paper that hangs off the sides.
- Place the outer buckle in the middle of the hat band, then glue the inner buckle to the middle of the outer buckle.
- Next, glue the hat to the top of the hair.
- Position the eyes near the middle of the paper plate and glue one on each side.
- Glue the mouth in the middle of the plate, just below the eyes.
- Take the tongue and glue it to the bottom of the mouth.
- Next, glue the cheeks on both sides of the mouth.
- Use a black marker to draw on the pilgrim's nose, just below the eyes.
- Finish up by gluing the hair and hat piece to the top of the paper plate, so the hair hangs on top of the eyes.
