Mardi Gras Masks
Can you believe it’s almost Mardi Gras time, friends? To get in a festive mood, Little Crafter made some party masks!
Materials:

– Plastic Masks
– Classic Glitter Glue Paint Pens
– Elmer’s Glue-All Multi Purpose Glue
– Assorted Feathers
– Glitter Foam Star Stickers
We all know that glitter makes everything better, so the first thing LC wanted to do was cover each mask with it! He squeezed some out of the paint pens, then spread it with a sponge brush so the entire mask would be sparkly!
Then, it was time to add more decorations! For the white mask, he decided to go all out, using purple and green feathers, glittery star stickers, and even a few pieces of millefiori glass I had fused in the microwave kiln. I was worried that those might not want to stay on very well, but the Glue-All really bonded them well.
He decided to stick with just the glitter and stars on the black mask, but I know the feathered one is his favorite. How do I know?
Well, I keep looking up and seeing this face… He loves to put it on when I’m not looking and then shout “BOO!” He wants me to squeal, but honestly, something that cute could never be scary!
How is your family getting ready for Mardi Gras?
When I don’t feel like cleaning up glitter and we’ve run out of glitter glue we use our dollar store glitter nail polishes to paint glitter on various crafts. We are going to be making mardi gras masks, personal sized cinnamon roll king cakes, and using mardi gras beads to make art like a paint by number thing, but glue a bead. 😉
