Making a paper mask is a fun and creative project! Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

Materials Needed:

Paper (construction paper, cardstock, or plain paper)

Scissors

Glue or tape

Markers, crayons, or paints

Elastic band or string

Hole punch (optional)

Decorative items (stickers, feathers, glitter, etc.)

Steps:

Choose Your Design:

Decide on the type of mask you want to create (animal, superhero, or a character).

Create a Template:

Draw your mask design on a piece of paper. You can find templates online or sketch your own.

Make sure to include eye holes and a shape that fits your face.

Cut Out the Mask:

Carefully cut out your mask along the lines. Cut out the eye holes as well.

Decorate the Mask:

Use markers, crayons, or paints to decorate your mask. Get creative with colors and patterns!

Add any additional decorations, like stickers or glitter, to enhance your design.

Add Straps:

If you’re using an elastic band, punch holes on each side of the mask and attach the band.

Alternatively, you can use string or ribbon to tie the mask around your head.

Final Touches:

Make sure everything is securely attached and allow any glue or paint to dry completely.

Wear Your Mask:

Once everything is dry, try on your mask and enjoy your creation!

Tips:

For added sturdiness, consider using cardstock instead of regular paper.

Personalize your mask based on themes or occasions (e.g., holidays, parties).

Have fun crafting your mask!
