To make a simple paper mask, you can follow these basic steps:

Materials Needed:

Cardstock paper or any thick paper

Scissors

Pencil

Markers, crayons, or paint for decorating

Glue or tape

Elastic string or ribbon

Instructions:

Draw the Mask Shape:

Use the pencil to outline the shape of the mask on the cardstock paper. You can create any shape you like, such as a superhero mask, an animal face, or a simple mask design.

Cut Out the Mask:

Carefully cut along the outline of the mask shape using the scissors. Make sure to cut out holes for the eyes.

Decorate the Mask:

Use markers, crayons, or paint to decorate the mask. Add designs, colors, or any embellishments you like to personalize it.

Attach the Elastic or Ribbon:

Measure and cut a piece of elastic string or ribbon that fits around your head. Attach the elastic or ribbon to the sides of the mask using glue or tape. Make sure it’s securely attached.

Adjust and Wear:

Once the elastic or ribbon is attached, try on the mask and adjust the fit if needed. You can also add extra decorations or embellishments as desired.

Remember, this is a basic method for making a paper mask. You can get creative and experiment with different designs, materials, and techniques to make your mask unique and special.
