CRAFT CORNER - Party Mask

Posted in CRAFT CORNER

I've seen pictures of people going to New Year's Eve costume ball's and that's what made me think of this craft. Of course, if your child likes dress-up or costume play, then this would be great any time of the year.

SUPPLIES:

Water colors in your choice of colors

Paintbrush

Scissors

White glue

Pair of glasses

Pencil

White cardstock or poster board

Glitter Glue

Bendy straw

Tape

Lay a pair of glasses on the cardstock and draw around them.

Add a mask shape around the outlines.

Use the water colors to paint any pattern you like, here is the order I painted this one in:

Run a bead of glue around the outline of the mask and where you traced the glasses for the eyeholes.

Dump the glitter onto the mask and shake off the excess. Some of the glitter may stick to any of the watercolors that's still wet, but it should rub off easily once it dries.

Cut out the eyeholes and around the mask once it is totally dry.

Extend and bend the straw. Then, tape the short part to the back of the mask. Tape over the bumpy part to make it stronger.

This is just one design idea, you can have a lot of fun coming up with other clever masks. Animals like a cat with pointy ears or a dog with droopy ears are two ideas. Instead of stripes, perhaps dots. You get the idea. Have fun!!
