Pasos a seguir

Cut out the cardboard dish following the model of the photo. Hollow the eyes. Paint the mask white

Cut out one or several big crepe paper stripes (about 40-30 cm). Make fringes in the stripes up and down.

Bend the stripes along in two. Gather the stripes and staple to the top of the mask.

Put glue following the mask outline and glue beads and sequins to decorate it. Wait until it is dried.

Cut out two stripes of paper and staple it to the sides of the mask. Put the two stripes together making a ring of the size of your head. If you prefer it, you can also simply tie a piece of elastic thread to the sides of the mask.
