Trace around
a pair of glasses

Cut it out

Trace the
template
onto a piece
of card stock.
In this case,
it’s a piece of
card that I saved
from a package
for upcycling.

Once you’ve
got the base of
your mask cut out,
get out a small
ball of yarn,
and a spool knitter.
Spool knit about 20 inches of cord.

And, gather up
some beads,
buttons and charms.
Glue the spool knitted
cord and all the other
embellishments onto the mask.
Punch holes at the tips, and attach elastic or ribbons. Tie the mask on and dance away, or hang it on the wall…..
Hi Noreen, Your mask is very cute!! I like how you decorated it. Looks like you used buttons and charms!!
Hi Carol

Yes, indeed, I did use buttons and charms…. I am a certified buttonaholic! LOL
