Step 2: Paint Your Sheep Craft

Place the triangle frame on the newspaper
Pinch the pompom with the clothespin to form a “paint brush”
Squeeze a little black paint onto the newspaper and paint the triangle frame
Set aside and allow the paint to dry

Step 3: Cut a Paper Triangle

Print the sheep craft template.
Use the triangle image to cut a triangle out of the black construction paper
Once the paint is dry, use the glue stick to attach the paper triangle to the back of the painted frame.

Step 4: Use the Sheep Craft Template

Cut the other pieces out for your sheep, including the ears and a little bow.
Decorate the bow with some washi tape. Cover it in the tape and then trim off the excess.

Step 5: Put Together the Farm Animal Craft

Now that you have prepared the triangle base and have all of the parts cut out, it’s time to put it all together.
Use the glue stick to attach the ears to the back of the triangle.
Then switch to using the Elmer’s glue and attach at cluster of cotton balls to the top of your sheep’s head.
Put the bow in place, either in the wool or on the neck.
Finally, put your sheep craft eyes in place and use the black sharpie to add a couple of details, like the center of the ear and eyebrows.
