Children's Mask Making on a Budget

If you are working to a tight budget, kids mask decorating crafts can be extremely cost effective.

Aside from the cost of the masks, you only need to add felt tip pens.....

No scissors, no glue - no anything else - just pens!

In our example below, we have used our white plastic masks and decorated it with pens and just an embellishment of glitter glue.

Our range of children's mask blanks can be found by CLICKING HERE.

Feathers & Sequins - A Real Must Have!

Probably the most popular children's mask makig embellishment is feathers, closely followed by sequins or foil confetti.

However, with both of these you will need to use a tacky glue otherwise the feathers and sequins are likely to pop off the background when bent around the crafters face.

A terrific range of sequins and feathers can be found in our shop.

Other Popular Embellishments

In addition to sequins and feathers, other craft materials that are ideal for mask decorating are:

Felt tip pens

Chenille stems

Glitter

Glitter glue

Foam

Foam shapes and foam stickers

Small pom poms

Beads

Glue & Sticky Stuff

A top tip for children's mask making is to make sure you have the right sticky stuff.

Have you seen the "PVA slide", this is the phrase we have coined to describe what happens when a child makes a craft item on a flat surface and then lifts it up - PVA glue often results in the attached components sliding down the now vertical surface!  Picture beads with blob of glue sliding down a mask landing a child's chin or clothes and you'll get the picture!

We always recommend a tacky glue, especially with heavier craft components and also on plastic masks.
