NOTES: This is a fun way to participate in a group art activity from a distance! Make your own HairDo and post online using the hashtag #hairdoityourself and check out everyone's creations. Use one 20" x 30" foam core board for each hairdo.
Start with foam core board big enough to fit your hairdo design.
Print and cut out the face template provided or measure your own face and make a template.
Decide which orientation (vertical or horizontal) fits your hairdo design idea. For longer styles, place face template closer to the top of the vertically placed foam core board.
For wider styles, use foam core board horizontally and place face template in center.
Trace your face template onto boards.
Draw your hairdo idea and add a fun crown!
