I made this mask last October for my Halloween costume. It is inspired by Frida Kahlo and sugar skulls. It's light weight and has a ribbon tie to keep it in place.

You will need

1 I used one blank plastic mask as the form to build my paper on. I altered the original form while I built up the paper (added brow line and cheek bones) Mask Form Use the tissue paper to build over the mask form. You can use what ever method you like best. I go with glue and water. Tissue Paper I used fabric paint to add dimension and gave the mask a sugar skull style design. Fabric Paint When the painting was done I gave the mask a couple of coats of gloss finish. Gloss 2 I used to pieces of ribbon to make atie for the mask. The ribbon color is coordinated with the paint. I tied a knot through a hole on each side and there's enough length to make a bow in the back. Ribbon
