Using colored paper and other materials we will make a vampire mask for the autumn holiday of Halloween. It will be original and unusual, because it will be made by your own hands.

• Double-sided paper black and green
• Stationery glue
• Black marker
• Black lace
• Pencil
• Scissors

Step-by-step photo lesson:

On green paper we draw the outline of the vampire's head. The top will have a rounded shape. Let's draw ears on the sides, like an elf's. Let's make the lower part of the head wavy.

Now you can cut out the future vampire mask along the contour.

Now we trace the silhouette of the mask blank onto black paper and form the hair. Cut it out.

Glue the cut hair to the top and right side of the head.

Using a simple pencil we outline the holes for the eyes, nose and other significant elements.

We outline all the details with a marker, and paint over some completely. For example, the hair on the left side and the upper eyelids of the eyes.

Carefully cut out holes for the eyes along the outlined contours. They will have a rounded shape, which will allow a person wearing a mask to clearly see around him.

We will also make an important detail for the vampire - fangs. We draw their outline with a simple pencil on green paper. Then cut along the contour.

Apply glue to the wide part of the fangs and glue it to the back of the mask.

Then we will decide on the material for tying the face mask and its length. This can be a lace, a wide elastic band or a ribbon matched to the color of the mask.

Attach both ends of the ties to the back of the mask. You can glue them with glue, secure them with tape (either simple or double-sided) or make special holes for ties.

Carnival masks can be divided into several types. First we'll talk About the cardboard mask - these are flat masks and they are very easy to make with your own hands. Most often, such a mask covers only the eyes or only part of the face.

Carnival mask made of cardboard

To make a cardboard mask you need: light cardboard, pencil, scissors, PVA glue, acrylic paints, semolina, acrylic varnish, elastic band, ribbons, glitter, beads, rhinestones, feathers.

We begin the work by selecting and drawing the shape of the mask on a sheet of cardboard. We cut out the mask along the lines of the template and draw a pattern on it. Now we wet the brush in glue and trace the pattern, sprinkling it with semolina. Shake off the excess. Thanks to the semolina, the pattern will be voluminous. Dry the workpiece.

It's time to add color to our mask. Apply acrylic paint using a sponge. When the paint dries, we decorate the pattern: we paint the convex parts of the semolina pattern with contrasting paint. When the work has dried, decorate the surface with sparkles and beads on a surface previously coated with acrylic varnish.

When the mask dries, cover it with two layers of acrylic varnish. We decorate the finished mask with feathers.

From papier-mâché

Another option for creating a DIY Halloween mask is a papier-mâché mask. They are especially popular due to their good fit to the face and volume.

If desired, we will make a scary or beautiful mask. We will sculpt either directly on the face, or on a clay or plasticine blank. In the case of a clay preparation, a thick cream is applied to the face, and then a thick layer of clay. Dry the clay until completely hardened. This will take about an hour. Remove the hardened mask from the face and create holes for the eyes and mouth. Let it dry for a day.

You can also take ready-made plastic masks that follow the contours of your face. Decide on the future hero - if you need a wart or a big nose, then you need to stick additional bumps on the mask. Using plasticine you can create wrinkles or large brow ridges.

When the mold is finally ready and dry, grease the workpiece with Vaseline or fatty cream. We continue working by gluing pieces of newspaper or napkin onto PVA glue. You need to make 5-10 such layers depending on the strength of your mask. If you have not cut through the eyes before, then you need to do it now, without removing the max from the workpiece. Then we glue the finishing layer of white paper. Let the mask dry for at least a day.

When the mask has dried, cover it with primer: a mixture of glue and chalk. Let it dry and start decorating. To decorate a mask for Halloween, we use pieces of fabric, “bloody” gauze, paint, sequins, lace, etc. The decor will depend on your image, be it a carnival jester or Jason from the movie “Friday the 13th”.
