Mardi Gras Masks!





Karneval /Mardi Gras is a wonderful excuse to to pull out (or create!) the masks, the beads, the crowns, the face paints, the costumes and have a party!

Here are some felt flower masks we created to help celebrate
Mardi Gras & our *soon to be arriving* spring!

To create you will need


Felt
Silk flowers
Ribbon
Glue (we used a glue gun)
Sequin trim

To begin cut out your mask (To measure I held the felt up to my girl's face and drew an outline with erasable marker)
Pull your silk flowers apart, fold them in half and glue them on one by one in what ever pattern suits your fancy!


Next glue on your sequin trim around the eyes


Glue ribbon on to the back of the mask for tying on around the head


Add what ever extras you desire and voila! !


Ready to celebrate!

  11. I love how colorful the masks are. This would work great for some type of Halloween costume. Just can't think of the top of my head of a good one to go along with this mask.

  15. The origin of Mardi Gras dates from the time of the Romans. The Roman festival was called the March Calendars. Indeed, the Romans celebrated the awakening of nature by agrarian rites. On this occasion, the prohibitions were transgressed and the disguises authorized. It’s from far away.WHAT IS MARDI GRAS

  16. The 5 layer N95 mask provides effective protection from dust, pollen, and other organic vapors. The chin fold design ensures that it stays in place during prolonged use. It is also approved by the FDA, NIOSH, and the CDC. It is regulated by Health Canada, and its FDA approval means that it meets stringent standards. A few features of an N95 mask may be of interest to you.
