With all components prepared, it’s time to assemble the craft on the paper plate. Start by attaching the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Apply the black strips along the top and sides of the tiger’s facial region. To complete this, draw the mouth onto the white portion beneath the nose. Your paper plate tiger is now ready to exhibit its fierce presence!
