Crafting Wednesday // Masking Around

Ready, Set, Craftz!

 
 
The great things about Masking Around is that its easy to make, and you can be apart of royalty or a mascaraed ball.
 
OK so lets get this party started!
 
Need:
1. Paper (Construction , cardboard, an old cereal box, wrapping paper or colouring book paper) Make sure that there is a solid paper supporting the mask to make it more durable.
2. A straw
3. Markers or Crayons
4. Tape and Glue
5. Anything extra to decorate your mask 
 
 
Step One: Once materials are gathered, trace your hands and cut out the image. (on our left)
Step Two: Decorate! The messier, the better! Start telling stories to your kids about a carnival you went to, or make up a story about a prince meeting a beautiful princess in a mask.  (Using your kids names always makes a story better)
Step Three: Glue the hand prints together such as the image above.
Step Four: Cover up the straw! Find left over Holiday paper or Birthday wrapping paper to make it extra colourful.
Tape it onto the star, then roll it and secure it onto the straw.
Step Five: Glue and Tape it to your mask.
 
The fun doesn't have to end here. Go make a fort and save the princess from the dragon or put on some music and dance around with your masks. (Take it to the bext level by putting on a fancy outfit!)
 
Kids love using their imagination, and it gets harder to remember what that's all about the older we get. 
 
Growing up is a trap, so try and stay young at heart as long as you can!
