It&#8217;s a great way to upcycle cereal boxes, and I used the faux fur from the collar of an old coat I picked up at the op-shop (thrift store) for only $1. If you can&#8217;t find faux fur inexpensively try fluffing up some cotton balls.<\/p>\n<h2>You will need:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/koala-mask-template-.pdf\">Mask Template<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pencil<\/li>\n<li>Black Marker<\/li>\n<li>Cereal Box (grey recycled cardboard) or grey card<\/li>\n<li>Scissors (craft blade and cutting mat optional)<\/li>\n<li>Hole punch<\/li>\n<li>Masking tape<\/li>\n<li>Glue Stick<\/li>\n<li>Thin elastic or hat elastic<\/li>\n<li>Faux fur (anything fluffy is fine eg. cotton balls or grey wool roving)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7119 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/koala-mask-steps.jpg\" alt=\"Koala mask DIY steps\" width=\"600\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/koala-mask-steps.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/koala-mask-steps-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to make a Koala Mask:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Print <a href=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/koala-mask-template-.pdf\">Koala Mask Template<\/a> at 100%, feel free to increase or reduce size for child (or adult) of different size.<\/li>\n<li>Collect your materials.
