Materials
a piece of cotton fabric 12x10 inches
a gelli pad or a piece of glass or perspex anything smooth and non absorbent
acrylic paint
if you do not have these but have decorative stamps stamp up the design
a length of elastic to go around the top of your head over the ears
some pretty ribbon or tape to tie around the neck.
sequins or beads to decorate.
Method
make a contact print on the fabric ( to see this method see my previous post below)
allow to dry thoroughly (possibly overnight)
you need a finished hemmed piece of material 9 x6 inches
put a small dart in both sides of the short side
attach elastic at top and two pieces of ribbon or tape to tie around neck
decorate you finished mask
The acrylic paint rejects fluids when dry but please remember this is NOT complete protection.
The gaps in the design make it easier for you to breathe and the elastic can be pulled down to the neck to speak or if you get too hot. The elastic also makes the mask easier to wear.
