Peeking-Out Mask
Make a unique costume or a special decoration! This mask can be a replica of one from a far-away culture or a unique Halloween craft to reflect your true personality. The possibilities are endless with the intricate cuts you can make with the Crayola Cutter!
1. Use your Crayola Cutter according to package directions. Cut out a paper oval that is slightly larger than your head. Cut a paper nose with rectangles for tabs on each side. Fold the tabs back. Glue your nose in place with Crayola Glue Sticks.
2. Cut out eye holes. Cut out a mouth and glue it in place. With your Cutter, make inside cuts for cheeks or other features. Glue bits of colored paper or foil on the back of the mask so the color shows through the cut-outs. The Cutter gives you endless possibilities!
3. On both sides of your mask, cut a short line from the outside edge to the center. Make one line about one-third down from the top and another line two-thirds down. Slightly overlap these pieces and glue. This will make your mask 3-D.
4. Decorate the mask any way you want. You could cut out interesting shapes and designs from colored construction paper and glue them on. Add ears, horns or any other parts. Cut lots of delicate designs for hair, feathers, or anything else you can imagine.
5. Attach ribbon, stickers, or other decorative items if you wish. Cut small holes near the edges of your mask at about the level of your eyes. Tie yarn so you can wear your mask. Or hang it on a wall to display.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Costumes & Masks—
CAUTION: When children wear hand-crafted costumes and masks, make sure the crafts do not obstruct the child’s vision, hearing, or impede movement. Do not use feathers, fabric, or raffia on wearable costumes and masks because these items do not pass costume flammability tests. Wearable masks are those held in place on the face with elastic, yarn, or other materials. Keep away from open flames.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
