How do the masks of Carnival: ideas with containers and recycled paper

Tuesday is Carnival and you do not even know what to do to dress up? It's not that you have set up some kind of theater: just a mask and also you're done! Unfortunately, the market sometimes there are things cheap, made in series, there appears to correspond to our innate originality. So what to do? We pull out our DIY kit and our imagination does the rest.

In this way, we can combine business and pleasure trying to recycle paper and other materials - such containers of eggs - we have at home. Containers of eggs hano a particular shape and are made of a very porous paper that lends itself well to being painted and decorated in different ways.

Procuriamocene a good amount, so if I'm wrong and we do not like the result, we can always do it all. Cut the carton in order to obtain two openings for the eyes and support for the nose and the base for our mask is ready! Now, with the tempera paints colors all solid and then decorate as we want: we can put pieces of cardboard or strips of cloth, but if we want to create a form of bird feathers are ideal for those who are in haberdashery.

You can fill the form or just put them on the edges, it will be beautiful! Moreover, there are those who want to hide and communicate their desire to be alone even for Carnival. The perfect mask for you is simple: on a paper bag - like what you use to make bread - cut out the holes at eye level and nothing else.

Tucking the bag on his head, we masked our lack of communication! For children, it will be very nice also masks made from paper plates starting with: procuriamocene foriamoli yellow and the sides to pass a rubber band that will serve to hold the mask. Then place the mask over his face, marking the point of the mouth, nose and the distance of ochhi to crop.

With the orange card, we realize the sun's rays and attacchiamoli all around with a stapler. If we had to make the confetti into the house, create masks delight us even more. We can apply all the changes that we consider necessary in order to express our personality and that of our children better.

That's the beauty of doing things with their hands: we can do exactly as we want!
