Mask Activity

Bug Mask

Suitable for:

Primary levels

Materials:

Paper Plate 23cm, Paper Plate 15cm, Defraction Paper Silver, Defraction Paper Assorted, Metallic Prism Paper, Tinsel Stem, Chenille Stems Giant, Metallic Plastic Foil, Chenille Bumps, Hand Plier, Stapler, PVA & a Low Melt Glue Gun

How to Make a Bug Mask:

1. Cut a slit in the 23 cm Paper Plate from the outer edge into the middle of the plate.

2. Overlap the two edges and staple them together. This will give a dome shape for the body of the bug.

3. Cut Metallic Prism Paper into small squares and glue these on to the body, overlapping the shapes until the body is completely covered in colour.

4. Glue silver Defraction Paper squares on to create the face. Use the coloured Defraction Paper for two eyes and a nose. Use a Hole Punch to punch out two eyeholes.

5. Use a Giant Chenille Stem and Tinsel Stems to frame the face and create feelers.

6. Cut the rim away from a small Paper Plate and then cut the plate in half to form the wings.

7. Cover each half in Metallic Prism Paper squares and trim with a length of Chenille Stem along the straight edges.

8. Glue a strip of Metallic Foil around the curved edge of each half plate.

9. Use the Low Melt Glue Gun to attach the two wings to the body of the bug.

10. Staple on the Chenille Bumps for the legs.
