Mask Activity

Bird Mask

Suitable for:

Primary levels

Materials:

Bird Mask, Wave Tissue Paper, Chromacryl Paint, Scribbles Paint Pens, Pearl Beads Gold 4 mm, PVA & Craft Glue

How to Make a Bird Mask:

1. Cut out multiple size triangles from Wave Tissue Paper in a variety of colours. Cut some triangles to look more like a feather shape.

2. Begin gluing the feather-like triangles around the outer edge of the bird mask.

3. Continue gluing the triangles of tissue paper around the mask face until the mask is completely covered in overlapping triangles. Leave the beak free of paper.

4. Paint around the eyes and beak of the bird mask a strong bright colour and set aside to dry.

5. Decorate the beak with Polymark lines or patterns. Use the same colours to add lines to the eyelid of the mask and finish off with a row of gold beads for the eyebrows.
