Steps

	1.	Print out this Pharaoh headdress template. *If you chose to print out the colored template, you can go directly to Step 4.
	2.	Color or paint the template.
	3.	Look at the pair of identical side template pieces. You don't need to color or paint the area above the dotted lines on these templates.
	4.	Cut out the three template pieces.
	5.	Cut a pair of slits following the dotted lines at the lower corners of the main headdress.
	6.	Take one of the side template pieces and apply glue on the entire area above the dotted line.
	7.	Lift up the flap on one corner of the main headdress. Position the side template piece under the flap. The dotted line on the side template should be aligned with the lower edge of the headdress flap.
	8.	Press down on the flap to fix the side template in place.
	9.	Repeat Steps 6 to 8 to attach the other side template piece.
	10.	Cut out a long strip of construction paper long enough to go around your head. Glue one end onto the excess strip on the headdress.
	11.	Glue the other end of the strip on the opposite side to create a band that fits on your head. You may paint this band if you like.
	12.	Try on your grand Pharaoh headdress!
