Part 2: Finishing Touches

Labeled "one." A small pile of strips of red construction paper sits next to a watercolor horse silhouette. Loops of red construction paper have been glued to resemble a horse's mane.

Cut lots of small strips from the construction paper. Attach in loops along the horse’s head to create a mane.

Labeled "two." A watercolor horse silhouette with red paper mane and a red paper bridle.

Cut 3 leftover strips to size and position them on the horse’s head to create a bridle.

Labeled "three." A close up of a watercolor silhouette of a horse with red paper mane, red paper bridle, and one yellow button.

Attach the button to the bridle. Then, draw in your horse’s face.

Labeled "Finished!" A photo of two completed watercolor horse heads.
