Dress
Up Mask pattern of your choice, or make up your own pattern.
Trace the mask pattern on the fun foam or paper.
Fold the fun foam in half without making a crease in the center of the
fun foam.
Cut along the pattern lines for the outside of the mask. Use the scissors to make a small hole in the center of the one of the eyes. Cut out the holes for the eyes.
Lay out the different materials for decorating your mask. Try different designs. You may want to cut
fun foam or paper shapes or feathers.
Use a glue stick or tacky glue to stick the decorations to your mask. Glue the stick on to hold the mask. Or make two small holes and tie a piece of ribbon to each side of the mask.
Hints:
Be sure to check the eye holes. You might want to check the
right location before cutting, and then again after to make sure there
is good visibility through the holes.
