Booyah!

It's like my favourite holiday because i can use my creativity to make weird stuff hehehehe last year i created a zombie make up using cottons like this :

Whaddya think? Not bad for first timer?

This year, i wanted to make something pretty...because...i feel like it lol and i'm also obbsessed with the lace masquerade masks they are awesome! But....so friggin expensive so...i tried to make them by myself! And they also gonna be wore by the dancers at my musical later hohoho

So, let me share to you the trick to make a masquerade mask in super cheap and easy way:

What you'll need are:

- a paper

- a glue gun

- lots of glue gun refill

- paint of your choice

- glitter of your choice

- clear tape

- beads,jewels,pearls of your choice

- pencil

- marker

- paint brush

- tulle

- thick plastic(clear)

- scissors

- a mask design (if you want)

- stretchy thread

And here are the steps:

1. Draw your own mask design or you can google it and print it out 

NOTE: if you draw it yourself, and you're making a 2 sided mask, you can draw half in one side of paper then flip it, trace it on the other side to make it even.

2. Tape your drawing/design down, then cover it with thick and clear plastic, don't forget to tape it too and lastly, tape the tulle on top of them.

(Ps: i did NOT draw this, i printed it, all credits goes to google and the artist which i'm so sorry i forgot to save your name)

3. Take your glue gun, and trace the glue according to the design, then wait for the glue to dry and take it off.

Tada~

4. After cutting all the unused tulle, paint the dried glue, then sprinkle them with glitter A.K.A pixie dust ( had to say it sorry XD) then wait for the paint to dry off.

5. After the paint is dried, it's time to decorate! In this pic i was working on a mask that's going to be used for my musical, it's only a simple one, i just use some fake pearls and glue 'em to the tulle with the glue gun.

6. Lastly put on the stretchy thread, you can sew it through the tulle or just glue gun it it's up to you :D and voila! You're dooonnnneee~

(Was so excited, i don't care that i have no make up and hasn't finished cutting the left over tulle yet lol, don't judge me)

Yaaayyy~ i already finished 2 type of masks phew! I still need to make 2 more mask designs for my musical, and some more accecories...and the photoshoot is next week! Such a pressure... Wish me luck! I don't have much time to do a proper photoshoot and make up :( but i really want to share this tutorial for my readers, who knows some of you will find this tutorial usefull :D
