An integral and most important accessory of a masquerade is a mask! You can create it with your own hands, and it will take quite a bit of time to create such a craft. In this master class, we will make a mask from a material such as paper.

First you need to prepare all the tools and materials necessary for work:

high-density colored paper or ordinary cardboard (base material);
pencil or marker;
scissors;
stencil template;
flying;
glue stick;
decor (colored feathers, a small rosette from a satin ribbon and decorative pebbles).

It is better if the paper or cardboard used is not just plain, but with an interesting pattern. First, using a pencil and a template, we transfer the outline of the future mask to the back of colored paper or cardboard.

Try to clearly draw all the fold lines. Next, cut out the mask along the resulting contour.

Then carefully make holes for the eyes. This is how it should turn out!

On the right side of the mask, there will be a small decor that will add originality to our accessory. We need, with the help of glue, to glue a small rose to the top of the craft.

Then attach some colored feathers.

Next, decorate the surface of the mask with various colored pebbles. A drop of glue is applied to the back of the rhinestone, and then the decor is placed in a certain place. In the center of the craft, you need to attach an oval red pebble.

On the left, at the top of the mask, glue the lilac-colored droplets.

On the other side of the craft, do the same.

After that, glue round, red, pebbles.

Complete them with small "droplets" of the same shade.

Add a couple more decorative stones to the center. Here's what we got!

Now, to fix the mask, you need to attach a tape to the side parts of the craft. First, it must be folded in half, and then cut in half. We got two ribbons of the same length.

On the tip of each, apply glue and attach them to the back of the mask.

On the front side, at the base of the ribbons, glue orange-colored pebbles.

Leave the craft for several hours until the glue dries completely. Now the mask is ready!

The host tells the story of the carnival: « Carnival as a kind of folk festival with street processions and theatrical games lives in many countries. The main attributes of any carnival are costumes and masks that help hide social differences and equalize everyone for the duration of the festival. In Russia, dressing up and having fun in masks was allowed only on Christmas and Maslenitsa. The initiator of masquerades in Russia was Peter I - a passionate lover of dressing up. In 1721, a magnificent street costume procession was arranged. You can not only buy a mask in a store, but also make it yourself from a variety of materials: paper, leather, fabric, papier-mâché. Adults and children are looking at samples of masks. We invite you to make a mask today. Try to create your own masterpiece. And let the flight of your creative imagination help you.

The facilitator explains the mask manufacturing technology:

Step 1. We draw the contours of the mask on cardboard. Or outline the mask template. Cut out.

Step 2 We mark the holes for the eyes, cut them out.

Step 3 We decorate the base of the mask with decorative material.

Step 4 We attach an elastic band or ribbon to the carnival mask.

The host of the master class reminds children and adults of safety rules when working with scissors:

Blades of scissors in non-working condition must be closed (closed).
Pass the scissors with the rings forward with closed (closed) blades.
Scissors must be used carefully, they must not be waved so as not to injure a neighbor.

2. The main part of the master class. Practical work on making a New Year's mask. Product design. The hardest part is over and our masks are almost ready. Let's leave the masks, let them dry a little.

The host conducts a physical education session for children.

Here in the cold winter
The wind blows icy
(Children wave their hands, imitating the wind)
And he lifts up a cloud of snow.
He is tough and powerful.
(Children perform circular movements with their hands like a winter whirlwind)
Hares hide in the bushes.
Even the cunning fox
(Children sit in a deep squat for a few seconds, then stand up. As if they are bunnies that are hiding from a fox)
She crouched and sits
Well, the snow is flying, flying.
(Children perform hand movements, showing snow falling)
But the evil blizzard subsided,
The sun is shining in the sky.
(Stretching - arms to the sides.)
A fox gallops across the field.
(Jumping.)
Well, we'll walk a little
(Walking.)
And we will return home.
(The children sit at the tables.)

And now the most interesting thing is that we will start decorating our carnival masks. There are many ways to decorate masks - it all depends on your imagination and sleight of hand, the most popular way to decorate a mask is to stick various accessories. As decorations, you can use everything that lies in front of you on the tables.

3. The final part of the creative workshop:

Paper mask templates for kids

Templates for a New Year's photo shoot

Simple cardboard blanks will spice up any holiday party!

Festive events in preschool institutions, and even in elementary school, rarely do without a carnival. And what is a carnival without masks? Then the parents have a question, how to make a paper mask for a child?

It should be remembered that making a paper mask is a rather creative process, which is necessary, first of all, for the education and development of a child. In addition, this process contributes to the expansion of horizons, and develops the imagination of children.

What are paper masks?

All paper masks can be divided into:

flat;
voluminous;
from papier-mâché;
hoop masks.

The easiest to make flat paper masks for children. They can be of various shapes: triangular, round, square, etc. For their manufacture, a pre-prepared paper layout is used. Cropping it along the contour and coloring it, you get a mask.

Volumetric paper masks, for example, animals, are made using various cuts, special grooves, which are subsequently glued together. At the same time, the process of making a pattern takes a lot of time. However, this is a very exciting activity, so children make them with pleasure.

Making a paper mask with your own hands, using papier-mâché technology, is the most difficult variety of all the masks considered. They look more solid, and can be made by high school students.

Paper masks glued to a hoop are also quite easy to make. All that is required is a hoop and a mask cut out according to the template, which, after decorating, is glued onto the existing hoop. Such masks are suitable for younger children, and can be perfectly used at a matinee in kindergarten.

It is especially difficult to make origami paper masks. To do this, you need to master the whole methodology, which is taught in special circles of children's creativity.

How to make a paper mask yourself?

Before you make paper masks, you need to decide which one you will make. First you need to prepare the material and tools. The material is usually used or painted. Masks from the latter are stronger and more durable. In order to extend the life of a paper mask, it can also be simply glued onto any cardboard.

Consider how you can make a mask out of paper "Cat". To do this, you need to take a dense landscape sheet (better for drawing).

Folding it in half lengthwise we get the line of the nose. Then we fold the sheet across, resulting in a line of eyes. Taking sharp scissors in hand, we make cuts for the eyes. Then we draw a cat's face on the front side of the mask, and only then we cut out the mask along the depicted contour.

In the same way, you can make a volumetric mask. To do this, you just need to make incisions in the area of \u200b\u200bthe eyebrows and nose, bending the cut pieces of paper inward.

It remains only to paint the mask with paints and it is ready! This kind of paper masks are suitable for both girls and boys.

It is especially interesting for children to make a papier-mâché mask. To do this, you will need a balloon, an old unnecessary newspaper and glue. First you need to inflate a small balloon. Then, having previously torn the newspaper into small pieces, you can start pasting the ball with them. The paper is glued in several layers, and they are allowed to dry well. After that, you can cut off the mask from the ball, and start decorating it.

The same thing can be done right on the face of the child. In this case, instead of glue, use Vaseline or glue. By gluing pieces of paper layer by layer, we end up with an exquisite mask in which you can go to a school ball.

Thus, making paper masks is a rather exciting process that gives children a lot of positive emotions.

Halloween masks and costumes, unusual, strange and frightening, are not only a tribute to traditions, but also a way to show imagination, inventing and creating an original carnival image. How to make a scary DIY mask for Halloween? In the article we will list several simple ways.

Simple cardboard mask

How to make a scary mask with your own hands from cardboard? The easiest way is to cut out a goggle mask with holes for the eyes, and then paint or decorate. This is the best option for a children's masquerade look, for example, if a themed party is planned at school: a cardboard glasses mask will not be too intimidating or repulsive. In addition, you can do it with your child. This will require:

Cardboard and colored paper.
Glue.
Markers or paints for coloring.
Soft rubber band or ribbon.

First of all, you need to choose an image for the future mask. For Halloween, the mask of a spider, a bat, a pumpkin or a funny ghost - Casper is perfect. You can draw a mask template on cardboard yourself, or you can print it from the Internet. Further, everything is simple: the cardboard template is carefully cut out, painted or decorated with colored paper elements. Optionally, you can decorate the mask with sequins, sequins, appliqués and more. On the sides you will need to make holes into which the tape or elastic is threaded.

Volume mask made of cardboard

To make an ordinary mask-glasses voluminous, supplementing the product with cardboard or papier-mâché details, is another option on how to make a scary mask with your own hands (see photo below in the article). This will require:

Draw (print) and cut out templates for the mask and volumetric elements.
Papier-mâché parts, if any, are made in advance and dry well.
Glue or staple together all the parts of the mask, make side holes.
Color the mask. If there are papier-mâché elements, they will need to be primed and dried again before painting.
Pass a ribbon or elastic through the side holes.

Volumetric masks: what can be done?

The original volumetric mask that covers the face completely or only half looks really impressive. Creating such a product will require patience and accuracy, it will take a little more time. How to make a scary mask of this type? There are several methods available.

The most common and affordable technique for making a volumetric mask is papier-mâché: gluing products from pieces of paper.
How to make a scary mask yet? An interesting option is a voluminous mask made of fabric shreds. This technology is similar to papier-mâché and allows you to show your imagination using fabric blanks of different textures and colors.
The most modern, original, beautiful, but also the most expensive material for voluminous masks is plastic or polymer clay. The main condition for working with such material is strict adherence to the technology for creating the product described in the instructions.

Regardless of what material it is planned to make a volumetric mask from, most likely, you will have to start work with making a base from gypsum or plasticine.

Form-base for the mask

Why do you need a mask shape? And is it possible to do without it? You can often find a description of the process of making a papier-mâché volume mask, which is made directly on the face. This method, of course, saves time, but sculpting and drying the mask is not very convenient. Also, a plaster or plasticine mold can be replaced, for example, with a hockey mask or an inflated balloon.

You can make a more accurate base shape from plasticine: either sculpt the head of the character whose mask is planned to be made, or make an anatomical cast from the face.

However, experienced craftsmen still advise not to be too lazy and, before making a terrible mask, make a plaster mold. Such a base can be used several times, moreover, the plaster mold is suitable not only for working in the papier-mâché technique, but also for making plastic masks with subsequent heat treatment of the product. There are two ways to make a plaster mold:

Make a cast of the face with cooking foil. Carefully pour gypsum into the resulting form, avoiding deformation of the foil, and allow the gypsum to harden. Remove the foil after drying.
Another way is somewhat more difficult: to make a plaster cast on the face. It will not work to make such a base form on your own, you will need an assistant who will impose a plaster mass. The cast is made in the following order:

First you need to remove the hair under a bathing cap, fix the shape of the eyebrows with a gel or wipe it with a damp bar of soap and smear the skin of the face well with a fat cream (children's or Vaseline will do). Next, tubes for a cocktail are inserted into the nostrils (the ends of the tubes must be wrapped with gauze or cotton wool). This will allow you to breathe freely during the procedure.
After all the preparations, it remains only to sit comfortably on the floor, fixing the head with wet towels or an absorbent cloth so that the plaster mass does not drip onto clothes and onto the floor during application.
The assistant should quickly apply a thin layer of plaster mass, starting from the middle of the face to the edge. Liquid gypsum can be replaced from a pharmacy, then it is necessary to apply them, having previously cut them into pieces and soaked them in warm water.
Once the surface of the plaster mold has hardened, the assistant can carefully take the impression. In conclusion, the form must be aligned along the edges.

What materials are needed for a papier-mâché mask?

Papier-mache, that is, modeling from "chewed paper", is an affordable, convenient and inexpensive answer to the question "how to make a scary mask with your own hands." To work in this technique you will need:

Paper sheets. Ordinary unnecessary magazines, newspapers, flyers, paper napkins, etc. will do.
Adhesive. It can be PVA glue or wallpaper glue. But since the mask will be in contact with the skin of the face, it is best to prepare a paste from flour and water (at the rate of 1: 2).
Fatty cream or oil to lubricate the base form. This will allow you to easily remove the finished product from the mold in the future.

Step-by-step procedure for creating a papier-mâché mask

How to make a scary procedure is quite simple:

A layer of lubricant is applied to the base form - a fatty cream (Vaseline, vegetable oil).
Paper sheets need to be torn into small strips and soaked in a container with a paste, the denser the paper, the longer.
Paper strips are glued onto the base layer by layer, gradually forming a mask. It is important to apply each subsequent layer evenly, without air bubbles and irregularities.
During the modeling process, the mask can be fixed with one or two layers of bandage or strips of soft fabric, laying them between layers of paper strips.
Dry the mask for 2-3 days at room temperature. After drying, cut the side holes for the elastic (tape), align the slots for the eyes, nose, mouth.
The mask must be removed from the mold, primed and painted. For painting a paper mask, ordinary gouache or oil paints are suitable.
If desired, the mask can be decorated with bright details (feathers, sequins, elements of fabric, metal, etc.), thread an elastic band (ribbon) into the side slots.

Heat treated plastic mask

Plastic, which hardens after being heated at a high temperature, is a material very popular with people who are passionate about needlework. However, working with it requires strict adherence to technology and safety rules. For this reason, you should always start the process of creating a mask by reading the instructions on the plastic packaging. It is especially necessary to remember that for different varieties of this material, the technology of work and the processing temperature may differ. How to make a scary mask from polymer clay (plastic)? To create a mask from this material you will need:

A set of colored plastics with instructions.
Crockery and stack (knife) for work.
Warm water container.
Oven (oven in the kitchen stove).
Plaster mold for the mask.
Decorative elements (optional).

Important! Thermoplastic utensils must not be used for food purposes. After work, the oven must be thoroughly rinsed with water and detergent.

Plastic production is carried out in several stages:

The form of plaster is smeared with oil or fat cream.
Pieces of material are softened according to the instructions on the package. For faster heating, it is often recommended to use warm water or the non-hot air of a conventional hair dryer. Of these, a mask is applied to the plaster base.
It is important to avoid getting dust, small debris, hair or threads on the softened plastic.
When sculpting on the form, it is necessary to immediately cut through the nasal and eye openings of the mask. For a beautiful snug fit of the mask to the face, you should try to create a smooth transition to the plaster form, nullifying the plastic mass in the eye area and along the edges of the mask.
All slots, including holes for elastic (ribbons), must be done before the plastic is completely solidified.
If desired, the mask can immediately, before heat treatment, be decorated with heat-resistant parts made of metal, glass, stone and other things.
Heat treatment is carried out in strict accordance with the instructions: a plaster mold with a molded mask is placed in the oven, preheated to the recommended baking temperature. The product is aged in the oven for the time specified by the manufacturer, after which the mask should gradually cool in the oven.
Important! The temperature of the oven must be constantly monitored. All types of plastics may begin to melt and release toxic smoke if the temperature in the oven reaches 170-175°C. If this happens, you must immediately turn off the oven, open the doors and windows for ventilation and leave the home until the final weathering.
Re-heat treatment of plastics is allowed. After complete cooling, the mask can be supplemented with molded details and baked again.
The cooled product is carefully removed from the mold. The finished mask can be primed and painted, decorative elements can be glued on.
