These masks are really simple to make, and they turn out "super" cute. {I can't resist a pun. lol}
I am making a bunch for my boys' Super Hero party, but they would make a great addition to any dress up box.
You'll need:
- foam sheets (I used Elmer's foam sheets in Royal Blue)
- thin elastic
- scissors and a hole punch
- a paper template (They are all over the web, but here is the one I used.)
First, use a paper template to cut out a mask "shape" from the foam. Use the hole punch to punch a hole on each side.
Second, measure the elastic to fit the child's head. (Mine were a little over 12 inches.)
Third, tie the elastic through the holes in the mask, and secure with a double knot.
That's it! Told you it was easy. :-)
