Step by Step Instructions to Make Safari Animal Bookmarks:
Step 1: Print out the free safari animal template. The template includes patterns for lion, zebra, giraffe and elephant. Trace the template patterns on the craft papers and cut them out neatly using a pair of scissors.
Step 2: Let’s start with the lion and the zebra patterns. Glue the inner ear parts on the ear parts of the head cutouts.
Step 3: Paste the head cutout of the lion on the mane cutout. Attach the lower part of the zebra’s face on the bottom part of the head pattern.
Step 4: Glue the tail’s tip cutouts with the tail for both the lion and the zebra. Attach the mane cutout of the zebra on the top side of the head pattern.
Step 5: Paste the paw/ leg cutouts on the base cutouts of lion and zebra. Make sure to paste only along inner edge, keeping the remaining paws free.
Step 6: Glue the tail patterns on the base for both zebra and lion craft.
Step 7: Next, paste the heads on the top of the base for both zebra and lion.
Step 8: Use a black sharpie to draw the face of the lion and zebra. Make striped patterns on the zebra’s body.
Step 9: Similarly, make the elephant bookmark.
Simply slide a page between the paws/ legs and the base to use them as bookmarks. These cute safari animals will delight your kids and make for fun handmade gifts for friends and family!
