Snazzy Superhero Masks

Posted 2013-08-09 by Jane Street ⇒ follow

These snazzy superhero masks are fun to make and wear. Kids will enjoy sticking collage pieces onto the sticky plastic and no glue is involved so it's a low mess activity. Make matching colourful wrist cuff bracelets to complete the look.

Time: 20 minutes
Age: Under 5s, 5-10's
Level: Medium

Materials

Contact paper (sticky back plastic)

Elastic

Collage pieces (e.g. tissue paper, coloured cellophane, gold stars etc)

Hole punch

Sticky tape for cuffs

Starting materials

Method

Cut two rectangles out of contact paper (sticky back plastic) just bigger than the mask you want to make.

Draw a mask shape on the paper side of one piece. You can use a pair of kids sunglasses to help get the right size and shape.

Kids sunglasses are great to help get the right size

Cut out the mask shape

Peel the paper backing off the contact paper and stick collage items to the sticky side.

It doesnt matter if you go over the edge with the collage items as it will be trimmed later

Stick the other rectangle of contact paper on top, sticky side to sticky side.

Ready to trim

Trim round the mask shape.

Fold over each half of the mask and cut half an eye hole on each fold. Open up to get your finished mask shape.

Use a hole punch to make a hole in each side and tie on elastic. Our elastic was 40cm long.

Finished mask

Make matching superhero wrist cuffs by making two rectangular pieces in the same way. Wrap each bracelet around a wrist and fix using sticky tape.
