Halloween 09!



WOOO.

Check out my sweet mask. Which I will be wearing all week.

I made it myself. Super easy...

Materials:
one piece of black felt
a few bags of feathers
a few bags of sequins
one elastic band
scissors
glue gun
music to dance to...

I didn't take any "process" photos, so you'll just have to close your eyes and imagine it. Ready?

...If you want to do it the way I did it:
1. put the felt on your face and imagine how big you want your mask to be.
2. fold the felt in half try to cut out your imaginary shape (I'm very specific.)
3. put the felt back on your face and pinch where your eyes should go.
4. cut slits for the eye holes, and then experiment. (lol, you're loving this. I can tell.)
5. finesse the shape (cut vertical lines and overlap the edges for the beak, and smooth out the edges)
6. measure your elastic.
7. have your little sister help you hold things to your face.
8. glue the elastic to your mask
9. start gluing on feathers and sequins
10. and feathers and sequins
11. and FEATHERS AND SEQUINS
12. don't burn yourself.

voila!
I'm a bird. Or something.


What are you going to be for Halloween?
