Masquerade

So about $600 later, I have my computer back and my screen is finally normal!

In about 3 weeks my sorority is hosting a Masquerade party and my first thought was....I could buy a really cute one! Once I started looking at Etsy and other places like that, I realized that $60 was just not worth it to buy a mask. I figured I would just go to Hobby Lobby and make my own mask.

Supplies:

Gold Mask-$3
5 different types of gold and white ribbon-$10
Bag of feathers-$2
Feather decor (right next to the masks)-$3
Gold and Pearl Pendant-$3
1/2 yard of lace-$4
Here is the stuff I already owned:
Hot Glue Gun
Wooden Skewer
Gold Paint
Scissors

First I started with the different types of ribbon and a glue gun organized.

Then I took the feather decor half circle and glued more feathers onto it!

Then on the front side I glued on some lace, pearls and ribbon with the hot glue gun.

I then cut three pieces of lace and hot glue it to the back, so that the lace was peaking over the top of the mask.

Then I cut and glued ribbon around the edges and around the eyes. This was so simple!!

Then I laid the mask and the feathers together to see how they would look together!

Then I painted the wooden skewer gold and hot glued ribbon around it. I hot glued the skewer to the mask and then caked the hot glue over the skewer to attach the feathers. See how I also added the pendant to the center of the feathers!

I added two strands of pearls hanging from the pendant and then I was finished!

Now you can Mardi Gras in style, this was the mask in action.
