How to Make a Leopard Paper Craft

Step 1

Select one shade of yellow for the leopard’s head, body, legs, and tail. Use a second shade of yellow for the belly piece (arch shape).

Use pink paper for the inner ear pieces, and white for the bottom face pattern (small arch shape).

Trace the template patterns on the selected craft papers and cut them out neatly.

Cut out the eyes directly from the template.

Step 2

Using liquid craft glue or a glue stick, attach the inner ear cutouts in the middle of the ear parts on the leopard’s head.

Attach the belly cutout in the center of the body, making sure to align the two pieces along the bottom edge.

Step 3

Use a black Sharpie or gel pen to draw spot patterns on the leopard’s legs, tail and body (leaving the belly part unmarked).

Step 4

Attach the leg cutouts on the front of the leopard’s body at the bottom edge. Attach the eye cutouts on the head piece.

Step 5

Using a black Sharpie or gel pen, draw spot patterns on the leopard’s head. Add the whisker dots and the mouth on the white lower face cutout.

Step 6

Attach the tail to the either side of the leopard’s body. Add the head at the top of the body to complete the craft.
