I hope you are having as much fun as I am making my Mardi Gras mask. On Wednesday, we made mask patterns. On Thursday, those of us using paper-mâché started our layering and drying process. Today, we decorate! Let’s get started decorating.
You want to enter the 1st Annual That Costume Girl Mardi Gras Mask Contest, but you’ve never made a mask. No problem. Masks are easy to make and fun for the entire family. Over the next few days, I’ll make a mask with you. My mask will be a paper-mâché mask. You can skip the messy paper-mâché step if you want. Gather your supplies and follow along.
It’s time for another fun filled contest! This time around the theme is Mardi Gras. I want to see your best Masquerade Masks. Get out your purple, green, and gold paint. Pretend you need a stunning mask to wear with your gown or tuxedo to a Mardi Gras Ball. Be creative!
