Black Bird Mask

DSC_0538.jpg

I made a black mask with a beak to make it look like a black bird.

Sketch

First, I sketched out how the final mask will look like.

Cardboard Base of the Mask

To start the mask I cut two rectangles out of cardboard for my base. Then I cut 3 and one half inch wings out of the rectangles.

Hot Glueing Base Together

Next, I hot glued the two pieces of cardboard together in the middle.

Eye Holes

I cut two one inch eye holes in the middle of the mask.

Triangle Shape for the Beak

I folded a piece of cardboard into a triangle shape, with small tabs, for the beak.

Plaster Wrap

I used plaster wrap to attach the beak to the mask. Then I used three layers of plaster wrap to completely cover the mask.

Painting the Mask Black

I let the plaster wrap dry, then i painted the whole mask black.

Decorating With Feathers
