You'll simply need a number of things to do in almost any layout you can imagine. These items include balloons, newspapers, glue and wallpaper some acrylic paint. A pair of scissors is strong in the practice of cutting the eyes and mouth. Wear old clothes, or put an apron on both you and your child. Making the mask can get a little disorder.
Cover your work area in many newspapers to protect it from glue and paint. Then, several newspapers cut into strips. Blow up a balloon so it is slightly larger than your child in the head. Now, a newspaper completely immersed in the band of glue and stick on the ball. Continue to do this back and forth until you have the entire balloon in several layers of newsprint. Working any wrinkles as you go along. The multiple layers of newsprint that you have, the more robust the mask will be.
Finally add specific functions for the mask that you do. For example, if you make a frog mask, sculpt two ball at the top of the mask that you can paint later than the eyes. If you're a cat, dog, monkey or mask, form and the muzzle of course do not forget the ears. The only limit is your imagination.
Let the mask dry completely, preferably overnight. Once it is fully cured, begin to reduce the mask of the pop ball. Cut an opening large enough for your child can get his head inside the mask, then cut eye and mouth openings. For young children, you want May to cut back the mask out completely, and instead, wrapping a piece of tape or son around the back of the head to secure the mask to allow better air passage.
The mask of paint in a solid color and allow it to dry completely. Then add details like the eyes, nose and lips in different colors. Once the paint is completely dry, it is ready to wear. For a longer duration and shiny mask, the mask covered in several layers of Hodge podge before using.
