Witch's
cat mask
You will need:
1 sheet black Funky Foam
1 sheet white Funky Foam
Craft glue
Red glitter
Black elastic
A4 sheet of paper
Pair of scissors
Pen
Step
1
Draw an eye mask shape onto the paper with the pen, using a side
plate as a guide to the width of the mask, and using the photograph
to help you.
Step 2
Cut out the shape, and cut out the eye holes. Try it on the child's
face to check the size and make it a bit bigger or smaller if necessary.
Step 3
Using the paper as a pattern, draw round it with the pen onto the
back of the black Funky Foam. Cut out.
Step 4
Place the mask onto the white Funky Foam and draw round the eye
holes. Cut out the eye holes and draw round them to make a shaped
border. Cut out the eye borders.
Step 5
Using the craft glue, attach the eye borders round the eye holes.
Spread glue along the top edge and shake the glitter along it. Leave
to dry.
Step 6
Make 2 small slits at each side of the mask, thread elastic from
back to front, then from front to back, tie a knot. Repeat this
at the other side of the mask, checking the elastic fits snugly
round the child's head.
