Here we are in the middle of summer. It is HOT, the kids are BORED, and this mama needs to get on the ball and get some work done.

Materials
- Small Colorful Paper Plates
- Colored Craft Sticks (2 per mask)
- Stickers
- Curling Ribbon (optional)
Tools
- scissors
- utility knife
- cutting board
- pencil
- ruler
Instructions
- Start by gluing two craft sticks together. Add about 1″ of glue to the end of 1 stick and attach another stick to the glue. Set aside to dry completely.
- Measure the center of your plate with a ruler and make a mark (mine was at 3.5″). Use this mark to place round eyes on mask and mark a half circle at the bottom to cut out for the mask.
- Use scissors to cut out the bottom of the mask.
- To cut the eyes, place your plate on a cutting board and use a utility knife. It’s easiest if you cut out one eye and then trace the cut out on the other side and cut it out.
- Add paper plate embellishments to your masks. You can do this by cutting a plate in quarters and then use 1 quarter piece to cut “fringe” into the edge. Attach to the plate with white glue.
You can also fold your “fringe” to create dimension.
- Fold every other piece of fringe to create dimension. attach with white glue.
- Add stickers to your masks to decorate them.
- When you are finished with your mask, attach the stick to one side with white glue. Let dry completely before using.
