Mask "unicorn"

The school often organizes carnivals, masquerades. Such events are a great opportunity for girls to express themselves.

If she is a fan of pony cartoons, you can become a unicorn princess for a couple of hours at the school party! A mask or crown will help with this.

To create a mask, you need the following:

  • White cardboard;
  • Gold colored paper;
  • Ruler;
  • Scissors;
  • Simple pencil;
  • Stationery knife;
  • Glue stick;
  • Pink colored paper;
  • Black paper;
  • Toothbrush;
  • Glass for water;
  • Shiny watercolor paint or gouache in yellow, pink, purple and blue;
  • Small sequins;
  • Old or just unnecessary newspaper.

Progress:

  1. First, the base of the mask is made: on the seamy side of the white cardboard, a future mask is drawn with a simple pencil: ears, a horn and holes for the eyes. To make the girl comfortable, measure the distance between the inner corners of the eyes with a ruler, and add a couple of centimeters in the figure to the obtained measurement result. The holes for the eyes are cut with a clerical knife, the rest of the mask is cut with scissors;
  2. A triangle with soft corners is drawn on gold paper, cut out, and then glued to the mask, on the horn;
  3. Two identical ovals are cut out of pink paper, glued to the middle of the ears;
  4. Two identical lines are drawn on black colored paper, resembling cilia, which are drawn to all female characters in animated films. The cut out "eyelashes" are glued over the eye holes.
  5. Cut out the same lines from pink paper as in the previous paragraph, only about two times smaller in width. They are placed above the "cilia";
  6. Next, an old toothbrush is taken, moistened in a glass of water, after which it is dipped in shiny paint. The villi of the brush with the index finger are first directed "towards themselves", then they are sharply released. So the surface of the mask will be covered with small shiny colored dots. During this procedure, it is recommended to cover the table with a newspaper;
  7. After the paint dries, four small sequins are glued to the lower contour of the eye opening;
  8. The unicorn mask is ready! It remains to attach a ribbon or string to it. To do this, two identical small holes are made on the sides of the mask (you can use a hole punch). A ribbon or rope is threaded through them, and a knot is tied on the inside of the mask.
