DIY: Abraham Lincoln President's Day Craft

Happy President's Day! If you're looking for a craft to inspire interest in American History, then you've come to the right place! For those of you who don't know, President's Day falls on the third Monday of February every year in Honor of George Washington's Birthday! But, even though George Washington was our very first president, this holiday pays tribute to all who have served and will serve after him. To represent President's Day 2022, this article will show you how to build your very own Abraham Lincoln! Just follow along to our DIY: Abraham Lincoln Presidents Day Craft!

Supplies Needed:

JAM Colored Cardstock Paper (Black, White, and Ivory)
Googly Eyes
Glue
Tape
Scissors
Pen/Marker
JAM Krinkle Paper

Step 1: Cut Out a Circle

This ivory circle is going to be Abe's face! Make the circle the size of your palm.

Step 2: Cut Out Shirt and Accessories

Using black paper, cut out a tall rectangular top hat, a bowtie, and a half circle for the body.

Step 3: Put Everything Together!

Before gluing the head on top of the body, draw on some eyebrows, a nose, and a smile! Stick on your googly eyes to make your Abe come to life. Cut out a white triangle and glue it upside-down on top of the black half circle, to create the suit. Then tape the bowtie in place. Finally secure Abraham's head on his body and give him his hat! For a finishing touch, glue some of our shred tissue paper on his chin for a nice fuzzy beard!

Step 4: Share with Family and Friends!

For any finishing touches, tape him on top of a photo of the American Flag! We made ours out of our paper clips and cloops!
