This felt ladybird mask is easy to make and no sewing is required. Team it with a red dress and some spotty leggings for a great dress-up costume.
Time: 10 minutes plus drying time
Age: Any age
Level: Easy
Materials
Black felt (we used purple instead to match clothes)
Method
Cut a mask shape out of red felt. You could use a pair of kids sunglasses to help judge the right size.
Cut eye holes in the red mask.
Cut a head shape and some spots from the black or purple felt.
Glue the cut-out items onto the red mask. I needed to glue the items on, squash them flat, peel them off, then re-glue and re-stick. This created a good bond.
Leave to dry then make a hole in each side of the mask with the skewer.
Attach the elastic through each hole and tie with a knot.
Your ladybird mask is now ready to wear. Enjoy!
