How to decorating a
paper mask
Making a mask is a fun, easy and inexpensive way for adults or children to prepare for Halloween or a masquerade party. The masks can cover your entire face or just a small portion over your eyes. After you create your mask, you can attach a ribbon, string or dowel to make it wearable. If you plan on wearing your mask multiple times, there are even some tricks to preserve it.
1.Color your mask with markers, crayons and paint. Now that you have the shape of your mask, design its base color. You can use any medium that you wish to make your design, but paint, markers and
crayons work best. You can make it a solid color or add designs such as stripes, stars, polka dots or even scars.
Chalk and pastels can rub off and get into your eyes, while markers with heavy scents or fumes can irritate your eyes and nose.
2.Add glitter, jewels, feathers or any other decoration you have available. Once you’ve finished your base layer of color, put your additions onto your
paper mask. Use white craft glue to attach them to your mask because it is water based and less likely to aggravate your skin or eyes. Craft glue is also flexible when dry, so your mask will still be able to form around your face.
Be careful that your chosen decorations are not too heavy or too numerous. Too many additions will weigh down the paper and make it difficult for the mask to maintain its form. Too much added weight will also make it difficult for the mask to stay in place over your face.
3.Set your mask aside so it can dry completely. Before doing anything else with your
paper mask, let it dry completely. If possible, leave it overnight. If you continue before letting the glue or paint dry, you will likely ruin your mask before you ever get to wear it.
