Step-by-Step
(Note – if you are using a mask that is paper maché or other non-plastic type, you can dry with heat gun. Plastic masks will melt or warp).
- prime mask with gesso (don’t be tempted to skip this step – the crackle paint won’t work on the bare plastic), let dry
- paint with crackle paint, let dry
- mist liberally with glimmer mist allowing it to run into all the cracks, let dry
- Run a strip of Continuous Line down the length of the dowel. Cut ½” strips of patterned paper and adhere to wooden dowel with Continuous Lines, wrapping the strips around the dowel. Secure end with Mini Glue Dot
- Punch decorative edge on 1.5” strips of patterned paper (finished width 1” after punching). Pleat and adhere to back edge of mask, using Glue Lines
- Adhere lace to front edge of mask using Glue Lines. Where two strips meet, secure the seam with Mini Glue Dots.
- Using crop-o-dile or other strong punch, create two holes in left side of mask, for tying dowel with ribbon. (These will be covered with flowers)
- Tie dowel to back of mask. Insert Craft Glue Dots under dowel where it touches mask, to further secure and position it.
- Adhere various fancy flowers and key to front of mask using Craft Glue Dots
- Peel and stick self-adhesive pearls to front of mask in desired arrangement
- Cut various lengths of ribbon and twine and adhere to back edge of mask using Craft Glue Dots
- Adhere acrylic tiles to ribbon and twine, using Craft Glue Dots
