Made these heads for our school production of the Lion King. Am thrilled to bits and with Jonni’s brilliant pattern so easy to make!

Hello! Do you have instructions to make these into headpieces for the Lion King? 🙂
Hi Amber. The giraffe wasn’t designed to be used as a headpiece so I don’t have instructions for it, but quite a few people have modified the pattern to make it work that way. They usually tape the bottom of the giraffe’s neck to a bicycle helmet, like this and this. I have also been told that some people print the pattern a bit larger so the whole neck can slide down over the actor’s head. Then an area is cut out of the neck so the actor can see out, and the bottom of the giraffe neck is cut to fit over the shoulders. It would take some experimenting to make that work, and so far we haven’t received any photos that would let us see how it’s done.
Your giraffe heads are beautiful and your painting looks great. The eyes really stand out. Congrats!!
Love the giraffe! Especially like how you blended the colors. Awesome job!
Very nice giraffes! I especially like the shape.
