Assemble and Collage :
Photocopy the Sakalava body, beak template and feet.
Cut out as many bodies as are required in the black/brown paper.
Carefully cut out the dark area of the beak on the front of the Sakalava head.
Use the beak template and cut from the yellow card.
Cut the feet from the red card.
Assemble the beak by curling the triangle around. So that points A meet and can be glued/taped together.
Make sure the other end curls to a point. Snip the lines at the open end and push inwards slightly.
Lay a line of glue around the cut beak circle on the head and press the snipped edge of the beak onto it.
Hold in place until dried.
Decorate the body with feathers or snipped paper (so that it resembles feathers)
Once dry use the beak to make the Sakalava dance. By placing a finger inside and using it to puppeteer. |
