Easy Halloween Mask

I spent a lot of time over the weekend working on various Halloween crafts.  I actually think I went a little overboard.  As tidy as I tried to be, I'm still finding bits of glitter and glue everywhere!  It's all in good fun though so I don't mind. The floors and countertops will just have a little extra sparkle in them for a while.

So where I work, people don't tend to dress up for Halloween. Since I love the holiday so much, I thought it would be fun to come up with a way to acknowledge it without being too distracting for others.  The end result was this sparkly, festive Halloween mask. Yes, I'm going to wear it to work! :)

Here's what you'll need from the craft store if you want to create a fun Halloween mask like this:

• Paper mask 
• Glue
• Glitter
• Paint or markers
• Halloween stickers
• Package of feathers
• Ribbon
• Stapler
• Scissors

Step 1:  Paint the mask or color it with markers.  

Step 2:  Create a pattern of your choice using the glue; coat the glue with glitter

Step 3:  Once the paint and glitter has dried, glue the feathers on the sides (or anywhere you'd like)

Step 4:  Arrange stickers - in my example, I've cut a cobweb sticker in half and used it as forehead embellishment

Step 5:  Cut your ribbon into two equal halves (10 inches each should do) and staple each piece to the side of the mask

Step 6:  Wear your mask and enjoy!
