tuxedo

This outfit nicely combines the penguin’s black-and-white balance with tuxedo coloring.

For the body, think of attaching parts onto a vest to represent the layered top and bottom and the tails of the tuxedo.

If you arrange the decorations with a sense of unity, it will result in a gorgeous design.

Focusing on the colors of the bow tie and buttons seems like an easy way to make it stand out.

For the penguin’s face, customize a cap: use the brim as the beak and attach parts for the eyes to complete the look.

mask

Pinguin Maske basteln 🐧 Pinguin zeichnen 🐧 How to make Penguin face Mask 🐧 маска пингвина из бумаги

A simple penguin-face mask—it’s important to pay close attention to the color differences.

First, cut white paper to the outline you want and draw a line where the color boundary will be.

Using that as a guide, cut the same outline from black paper, then cut along the line on the white paper and attach those white pieces onto the black paper as parts.

Next, attach the beak piece and refine the colors with a pen, and you’re done.

Adding a center fold and aiming for left-right symmetry is also recommended.

hat

Attach various parts to a hat to create a penguin face on top of your head.

You can recreate just the penguin’s face to pair with other outfits, or add wings and other pieces to make a hat-only version that completes the penguin—both sound fun.

The classic approach is to use the brim as a beak to give it presence, but it’s also great to leave the brim as-is and use it as a base for decoration.

From the design of the parts to how you make the most of the hat’s shape, there are many ways to express originality.

a black-and-white shirt and yellow socks

It’s an idea to recreate a penguin’s coloring by layering black and white shirts.

Layer a black shirt over a white one, and adjust how you roll the hem so the shirt brings black from the shoulders down the arms.

Then add yellow socks to represent the penguin’s feet, and strike a pose where the shirts wrap around your knees to complete the look.

For the beak, hold a folded piece of yellow paper in your mouth and move it in time with your speech.

It may look rough at first glance, but it’s important to pack in thoughtful details.
