Pasos a seguir

Draw the eyes on the dish and cut them out. Paint the face skin colour.

To make the beard, put some sheets together, in longitudinal way. Staple the three sheets on the top, in three different points. Cut the stapled sheets in stripes.

Curl the strips with a pair of scissors. To vary the hair length you only have to vary the curl’s length. For the long hairs curl only the last third of the paper strip.

Glue the beard to the dish. Cut out 7 or 8 stripes of paper and curl them totally. Glue them in the top of the beard.
