ELC mask

How did I make my mask?


First of all, I was thinking what sort of mask I wanted to make. I decided to make a kitsune
mask. A kitsune is a fox in the Japanese legend.

Thing you need:

 Aluminum foil
 Newspapers
 Glue
 Paint
 Paintbrushes
 Elastic band
 Screwdriver

So first of all I used aluminum foil to shape my base. I ripped the newspapers into
pieces for paper maché to cover my base and making it stronger. Dipping the small
pieces of newspaper into the glue.
After that I used aluminum foil again to shape the ears and to paint it. Eventually I
also painted the base too with black, red and white paint.

I putted the ears and base together. I made a


small hole with the screwdriver on both the sides
(left and right) to put the elastic band through it
so that I could wear it.
