After printing or redrawing them, transfer the drawings to felt and carefully, slowly cut out each element.
- All that remains is to cut holes for the eyes and attach the nose to the mask with glue (it can also be made from felt, only in a different color) and ears. Once the glue is dry, attach an elastic band to give the mask something to hold on to. The work is finished.
Dog mask on the head from plastic or paper plates

- The black nose is glued to light felt in the center and decorated on the sides with black beads. In the sample under consideration there are three of them on each side.
- When the mask is assembled, it needs to be placed under pressure for 2-3 hours so that all the parts are securely set.
