• On the 2nd piece of black paper cut about 1” off each side curving the bottom parts.
• On 1/2 of a piece of white paper cut out a shape similar to mine to make the visible part of Abraham Lincoln’s face around his beard
• Draw Abraham Lincoln’s eyes, nose, mouth, and pink cheeks – glue onto the rounded edge piece of construction paper
• Cut out 1-2” half circles out of the white paper and tape onto sides of Abraham Lincoln’s beard
• Finally attach the initially cut black paper to about 3” above Abraham Lincoln’s face. Add 2” wide horizontal pice of paper to make the hat brim.
