Masquerade mask- Finally done!

Yay!

You may remember about a month ago I mentioned making a mask? Well here it is!

I used:

  • papier mache
  • sandpaper
  • black paint
  • modge podge
  • tombo glue
  • glitter
  • silver cording
  • 3 ostrich feathers
  • 3 small white feathers
  • a gold button ;) (alcohol inked silver)
  • rhinestones
  • dimensional magic
  • hot glue gun
It was really fun and I am really happy with the results!

To make it, I started by making a base of papier mache. This was done by doing several layers on a volunteers face :) taking it off to dry, then cutting it to the correct shape and doing more layers. After it was dry, I sanded it so it was nice and smooth. Then it was painted black and modge-podged to make it shiny.
Add some decoration, and taa-daaa!

Do you like it?
