Then cut out the inside circle from the paper plate leaving the rim of the paper plate.

My daughter is 6 years old and I cut off about 2-inches from the plate.

We also cut off the inside corners of the paper plate so it laid more smooth against the face.

Add rubber bands to the sides

Stick the rubber band through the hole in the paper plate.

Then pull the end of the rubber band through the loop at the top of the rubber band.

Pull it snug so it stays in place.

These little loops are what youll use to secure the beard around your ears.

Cut strips from orange paper and glue them to the plate

Cut out strips from your orange construction paper.
