With a pencil, draw two circles for the peephole of the mask.
To make things easier, you may use any round object to trace a circle in the mask.
Cut along the outline made to make the peephole.
You may use a cutter if you find it more manageable. Just be very careful when handling sharp objects. Ask an adult to help, and do not let small children use a cutter on their own.
Here’s a tip: Cut a small slit at the center to make it easier to cut. Insert the scissors on the slit, then start cutting along the outline.

Mix a dash of pink to white paint to make the skin color of the pig.
