Fun Homemade Glue Masks

MaskMasked

I made this mask last year for our gig at MENSK's "Brush with Love" event. The gig ended up getting snowed out, so I didn't get to wear the mask until tonight, when I pulled it out to complete a last-minute Superwoman costume.

Here's how to make your own easy, glittery, original Halloween mask:

Materials:

glue gun
transparent nonstick pad (available in craft stores or online)
glitter glue

Procedure:

1. On a piece of paper, draw the mask you want to make. If you wear glasses, they make a great template so that the eyeholes will be comfy. Make sure all/most of your lines connect in a way that will make your mask hang together as one piece. Leave a place to attach elastic.

2. Lay the non-stick pad on top of your drawing.

3. Heat a glitter glue stick in the glue gun.

4. Trace the outlines in your mask design onto the nonstick pad with the glue gun.

5. Let cool, then peel your new mask off the pad. Whee!
